    Use a strong argument based on reliable data in order to create a change in belief, behaviour, or attitude.

    • Persuasive

    • Informative

    • Entertainment

    Correct Answer
    A. Persuasive
    Explanation
    Persuasive communication is the most effective in creating a change in belief, behavior, or attitude. Numerous studies have shown that persuasive messages have a greater impact on individuals compared to informative or entertaining ones. Persuasive communication appeals to emotions and uses strong arguments backed by reliable data to convince people to change their perspective or take a specific action. It taps into the cognitive and emotional processes of individuals, making them more likely to adopt new beliefs, behaviors, or attitudes. Therefore, persuasive communication is the best approach when the goal is to create a significant change in belief, behavior, or attitude.

They also serve as evidence of action taken on a specific topic, ensuring accountability and transparency. Therefore, the statement that memos are valuable because they cause the writer to commit to a certain course of action and provide a chain of communication and evidence is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. Speech must be started on time and finished on time
    Explanation
    Effective speakers usually evaluate their speeches to determine whether the speech can be understood by the audience, whether it achieves its intended purpose, and whether the speaker's efforts are ethical. However, the one goal that is not essential for an effective speech is that it must be started on time and finished on time. While it is important to respect the audience's time, the effectiveness of a speech should not be solely judged based on its duration. The content, delivery, and impact on the audience are more significant factors in evaluating the success of a speech.

    A. Humor
    Explanation
    Documents are written for various purposes such as educating, persuading, informing, and enlightening. However, humor is not typically a purpose of documents. While humor may be used as a tool within a document to engage the reader or add a light-hearted tone, it is not the primary purpose for which documents are created. The main focus of documents is usually to convey information, present arguments, or provide guidance, rather than solely aiming to entertain or amuse the reader.

    Explanation
    Humor can be a valuable characteristic of effective speakers as it helps to engage the audience, make the message more memorable, and create a positive atmosphere. While it is true that jokes can sometimes offend people, effective speakers can use humor in a thoughtful and inclusive way, ensuring that it is appropriate for the audience and the context. Therefore, the statement that humor should never be used due to the risk of insulting people is false.

This type of speech would be more persuasive or persuasive-informative in nature, as it aims to convince the council to take action to improve response times.

    True or False Paragraphs are visual references points that indicate a division of the topic for the reader.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False

    Paragraphs are not visual reference points, but rather they are structural units of a written text that help organize and present information in a coherent manner. They serve to separate different ideas or points within a topic, allowing the reader to easily follow the flow of the text. While paragraphs can sometimes be visually indicated by indentation or spacing, their primary function is to provide a logical division of ideas, rather than serving as visual reference points.
