Answer 2

C. What is the purpose of this speech? Reason being before planning your whole speech, how long you will talk for, if you will use note cards or how you will introduce it, you need to first figure out what you are talking about to make a catchy introduction and plan how long you will talk about one subject as so not to bore people listening.
