when using a hypothetical example in a speech, it is wise to include which of two supporting elements?

extended example
statistics
technical language
testimony

Explanation:

Hypothetical examples in speeches need concrete, credible support to feel realistic and persuasive. Statistics add quantifiable, factual context to ground the hypothetical, while testimony (expert or peer) adds external credibility that validates the scenario's plausibility. Extended examples would repeat the hypothetical structure, and technical language can alienate audiences without adding necessary support.

Answer:

B. statistics
D. testimony
