What will be an ideal response?
The primacy-recency effect is the idea that an audience tends to remember the first thing that they see or hear (primacy) and the last thing that they hear or see (recency). Based on this effect, the speaker should write a speech that captures the audience's attention in the introduction, maintains attention or interest in the body of the speech, and leaves a lasting impression with the audience in the conclusion.
