If a speaker presents correct facts but does not connect them to the audience's needs, why may the message be weak?

Correct answer: Because the audience may not understand the usefulness or relevance of the information.

Correct facts establish accuracy, but effective communication also requires relevance. When a speaker explains how information relates to the audience’s problems, interests, or decisions, listeners can understand why it matters and are more likely to engage. The facts do not become false, and length or questioning is not the central issue described here.
