Card 4 / 284: Aimee wants to present an informative speech on global warming, but because of the community where she will speak, she knows it is likely that most of her audience will disagree with the information she provides, even if it is the first time they have encountered the information. Given the steps in the process of planning a speech, should Aimee proceed with her plans?
A) No, because asking "Will my topic be interesting to my audience" is an important step.
B) No, because her general purpose with that audience should be to persuade, not to inform.
C) No, because dealing with their resistance will make it impossible for her to cover the topic in the time allotted.
D) Yes, because disagreement and disinterest are not the same emotions.
E) Yes, because the general purpose of a speech is determined by the speaker, not the audience.
