Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A speech designed to persuade aims to change the way listeners think or act. It is focused on convincing the audience to take a particular stance or action, based on the speaker's argument or reasoning. A speech that informs, on the other hand, is solely focused on supplying information without any intention to persuade or influence the beliefs of the listeners. A speech that entertains is meant to provide a source of enjoyment or amusement to the audience. A speech that inspires motivates or stirs the listeners to action or a positive change.
