Question

question 4
what effect does referencing children have in the speech? (select all that apply)
□ it has an emotional effect on the audience
□ it only appeals to teachers
□ it shows that he only cares about children, not adults
□ it makes him seem trustworthy since he is a parent

Explanation:

• For "It has an emotional effect on the audience": Referencing children can evoke emotions (empathy, concern, warmth) in the audience, so this applies.
• For "It shows that he only cares about children, not adults": If the speech focuses on children, referencing them can imply a focus on children's interests over adults', so this is a possible effect.
• For "It makes him seem trustworthy since he is a parent": If the speaker is a parent, referencing children can boost ethos (trustworthiness) as a parent caring for kids, so this applies.
• "It only appeals to teachers" is incorrect because referencing children appeals to a broader audience (parents, caregivers, those who care about kids, not just teachers).

Answer:

• It has an emotional effect on the audience
• It shows that he only cares about children, not adults
• It makes him seem trustworthy since he is a parent
