Successful informative speeches have a clear purpose to inform the audience and relate to their interests or needs. They do not necessarily answer questions of fact, value, and policy, as A is the main element for an informative speech. The purpose of a persuasive speech is to persuade the audience, which may or may not contain a persuasive claim, and sources other than the speaker's knowledge may or may not be necessary.
