Question

Which of these words best describes the pacing of faulkner's speech in the audio recording of his nobel prize address?

a. uneven
b. professional
c. appropriate
d. intense

Answer 1

uneven is the answer 

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

a. uneven

Since Faulkner was an author but not an orator, notwithstanding the powerful content of his discourse and universal message, the delivery of the live version seems uneven and not strong enough.

William Faulkner delivered his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in 1950. That year the US and the Soviet Union had become confronting superpowers, both capable of destroying the world.
