Answer 1

c. because you would not bring up your problems

Answer 2

Answer:

C) A list of all the problems you have encountered with people during your high school career.

Explanation:

In a speech given at the graduation ceremony, the speech can contain various points ranging from thanking the faculty to wishing well for everyone. Graduation is a passing out of the students, and the best way to give a speech is to show appreciation for those who were always at hand to help us, reminiscing about the times passed and also wishing everyone for their future endeavors. But what cannot be part of the speech is not to make it a personal one, meaning, there should be no inclusion of any personal problems or events. As a representative of the graduating class to give the commencement speech, it is our one's duty to stick and talk for the whole class, represent them, be their collective voice.

Thus, option C should not be included in the speech.
