Explain some issues you should consider to make sure you avoid making assumptions about your audience
What will be an ideal response?
To avoid assumptions, speakers should ask themselves if the audience already knows what they are talking about, and if at least one audience member might not, then the speaker should define and
explain the topic. If your audience already knows something about your topic, you can acknowledge
this by stating this fact. It is easier to err on the side of caution and provide a very basic definition and
explanation to ensure understanding.
