Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1. The space in which a speech is given affects the speech.
2. Brainstorming is a process of evaluating new ideas.
3. The overall intent of a speech is known as the general goal.
4. Primary research is easier than secondary research.
5. It is not necessary to cite a source when it is closely paraphrased.

1. True. The space in which a speech is given affects the speech. For example, in a long, narrow room, one may have to speak loudly to be heard in the back row.
2. False. Brainstorming is an uncritical, non-evaluative process of generating associated ideas. When one brainstorms, one lists as many ideas as one can think of without evaluating them.
3. True. The general goal is the overall intent of a speech. It is usually dictated by the occasion of the speech.
4. False. Primary research is much more labor intensive and time consuming than secondary research-and, in the professional world, much more costly. One can conduct fieldwork observations, surveys, interviews, original artifact or document examinations, or experiments.
5. False. Using quotations or close paraphrases without acknowledging their source is plagiarism. It refers to the unethical act of representing a published author’s work as one’s own.
