Sam has to give a speech to a group of college students

He chooses the topic of Medicare
reform because the topic has recently been in the news, and he believes his audience will have
some familiarity with the subject.  To his surprise, the audience seems bored by his remarks.
Sam?s main problem seems to be
A) he did not choose a topic that was interesting to him.
B) he did not take the composition of his audience into account.
C) he did not do enough research about the topic.
D) he chose a topic that was too technical for his audience to understand.
