What will be an ideal response?

The answer should identify the characteristics of clarity through effective speech organization (limiting the main points, using transitional phrases, and keeping the speech moving forward and careful wording). The speech should also associate new ideas with familiar ones. The association of ideas will help the audience to grasp new ideas more readily. Clustering ideas as well as using mnemonic devices will help the audience to remember the ideas presented. The last area should include motivating the audience to listen by using the factors of attention.
