Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When audience members are demographically similar, the speaker can make assumptions about their interests and beliefs and tailor their message accordingly. This allows for a more effective communication and adaptation to their needs. When audience members are culturally diverse or have varying levels of background knowledge, the speaker may struggle to connect with all members of the audience. A large audience may also make it difficult for the speaker to adapt to individual needs and interests.
