Listening to and Critiquing Public Speeches

Question 13 • CHS- TX-Professional Communications (CR)

What is the main problem with the following critique? “I’ve never liked horses, so I didn’t think your speech was very interesting. Besides, the way your voice sounds has always bugged me.”

Answer
A
It is not objective.
B
It is not ethical.
C
It is not specific.
D
It is not behavior focused.

Explanation

The critique is based on personal preferences: the speaker dislikes horses and is bothered by the other person’s voice. Those reactions do not objectively assess the speech’s content or effectiveness. The main problem is that the critique is not objective, so the correct choice is “It is not objective.”
