Which choice is an effective strategy when trying to convince an unwilling or disagreeable audience?
A.
Do not expect the members of the audience to change their minds after the speech. Look for small gains, like a simple nod of approval.
B.
Before the speech, tell the members of the audience how much you know about the topic to convince them of your knowledge.
C.
Keep the speech short and simple. An unwilling audience can never be persuaded.
D.
Use inflated language to convince the audience you know more than you actually do.

A is the correct answer

Answer:

A. Do not expect the members of the audience to change their minds after the speech. Look for small gains, such as a simple nod of approval.

Explanation:

Members of an unwilling audience would take time to convince. It is best to look for the small gains in parts of the audience, use these as an "in" with the crowd. When performing your speech it is, of course, good to use inflated language but not to the extent that you can't verify your knowledge. An unwilling audience may be difficult to convince but it is never impossible. And, discussing your knowledge with the audience before is not an effective strategy. Your words should show your knowledge.

Ocean Plastics
The Perils of Plastic

Marine debris is a common pollution problem in oceans and waterways around the world. Plastic debris constitutes one of the most serious threats to ocean health.

Up to 90 percent of trash floating in the ocean and littering our shores is plastic. Plastics can harm wildlife, damage coastal habitats, impact local economies, and even threaten human health.

How Does Plastic Get into the Ocean?

Even if you don’t live near the coast, your plastic waste can still find its way to the ocean. A plastic water bottle blown into the street can travel down a stormwater sewer, into rivers and streams, and out into the ocean. Since plastic never completely biodegrades, almost every piece of plastic ever produced is still in the environment in some form.

Types of Plastic

Consumer products. Plastic debris comes in many different types and sizes that we buy and use ourselves, including disposable water bottles, plastic grocery bags, fishing net, fishing line, plastic cups and lids, packaging, water balloons, and straws. In the marine environment, these types of debris can harm wildlife when animals mistake plastic for food, or accidentally entangle themselves in plastic littering our shorelines or floating in the ocean.
Microplastics. Plastic does not biodegrade. Instead, once discarded into the environment, it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces the longer it is exposed to the sun; a process called photodegradation. Any plastic particle less than 5 mm in diameter is categorized as a microplastic. Although small, these plastic pieces can have huge effects on ocean health.
Effects of Plastic

Plastic poses a serious threat to our oceans and waterways. Birds, turtles, fish, and other marine life ingest the plastic pieces, mistaking them for fish eggs, plankton, jellyfish, or other food sources. Every year, hundreds of thousands of sea creatures, both large and small, die from complications relating to plastic debris—they may have a stomach full of plastic that they cannot digest, or they may become fatally entangled in debris.

Harmful chemical pollutants can also attach to plastics and add to the toxicity of plastic debris consumed by animals. Risks to human health from microplastics in seafood are currently being assessed.

Read this adapted excerpt from "The Third Philippic," written by Demosthenes in 342 B.C.:

It is this fate, I solemnly assure you, that I dread for you, when the time comes that you make your reckoning, and realize that there is no longer anything that can be done. May you never find yourselves, men of Athens, in such a position! Yet in any case, it were better to suffer greatly, than to do anything out of servility towards Philip [or to sacrifice any of those who speak for your good]. A noble recompense did the people in Oreus receive, for entrusting themselves to Philip’s friends, and thrusting Euphraeus aside! And a noble recompense the democracy of Eretria, for driving away your envoys, and surrendering to Cleitarchus! A noble clemency did he show to the Olynthians, who elected Lasthenes to command the cavalry, and banished Apollonides! It is folly, and it is cowardice, to cherish hopes like these, to give way to evil counsels, to refuse to do anything that you should do, to listen to the advocates of the enemy’s cause, and to fancy that you dwell in so great a city that, whatever happens, you will not suffer any harm.

In which point of view is this excerpt written?

A.
first person
B.
second person
C.
third-person limited
D.
third-person omniscient

Read the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes. Keeping in mind the figurative meaning of the staircase, what does the speaker mean by “I’se still climbin’”?

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now—
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
