The Importance of Public Speaking

Question 12 • Introduction to Communications and Speech - LA1097 B

Which of the following statements about public speaking is not true?

Answer
A
It is generally not a conversation.
B
Its message is usually exchanged rather than continuous.
C
It typically involves a speaker and an audience, rather than a receiver.
D
It usually involves both auditory and visual channels.

Explanation

Public speaking is usually a mostly continuous message from a speaker to an audience, rather than an exchange of messages back and forth. So the statement that its message is “usually exchanged rather than continuous” is not true. The other statements generally describe public speaking: it is not usually a conversation, it has a speaker and audience, and it can use auditory and visual channels.
