Discuss various ways a speaker can provide closure.

What will be an ideal response?

Closure provides the audience with the sense that a speech is finished. A speaker can provide closure by referring back to the introduction and finishing a story that was started, by answering a rhetorical question, or reminding the audience of where he or she started. Verbal and nonverbal signposts can also signal closure. A speaker might say "finally" as he or she moves into the conclusion. A speaker could also pause briefly and make eye contact with the audience before stating the conclusion.
