If a speaker uses the same example for different audience groups but some listeners do not understand it, what should the speaker do to make communication more effective?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Change examples according to the audience group’s background
An example works best when it connects with the audience’s age, experience, language, and prior knowledge. The speaker should adapt examples, explain unfamiliar references, and invite questions to check understanding. Stopping questions removes useful feedback, deleting the main message weakens the presentation, and using harder examples is likely to increase confusion.
