A. The type of speech you intend to deliver (remember there are three basic types of speeches)
Out of the tree types of speeches, I believe delivering an informative speech would work best with the audience, topic, and occasion. I’m being asked to write about Beata Beatrix, a painting created by Dante Rossetti, based on Dante Alighieri’s novel Vita Nuova.
