Question

If you were giving a speech on illiteracy in the United States, which of the following points would you discuss last?

a. literacy rates in the U.S. compared with those in europe
b. rise of U.S. illiteracy rates since 1980
c. effect of illiteracy on the U.S. economy
d. ways to increase literacy in the U.S.
e. main reason for illiteracy in the U.S.

Answer 1

I would say D. because all of the others are basically answering the entirety of the speech. If you would discuss ways to increase the literacy rates in the U.S. you would need to go over it last after you explain why the U.S. is so illiterate.

Answer 2

The correct choice is option C,effect of illiteracy on the U.S. economy.
