Question

It is teacher's day and you have been asked to deliver a speech to commemorate the occasion at your school. Which of the options is the best salutation for your speech?

• A. Hello everyone,
• B. Respected Principal, Teachers, and My Dear Friends,
• C. Respected members of the school,
• D. Dear all,

Answer 1

The correct option is B Respected Principal, Teachers, and My Dear Friends,

We should always acknowledge and greet the audience before starting with the topic of a speech.

The correct answer is Option B. This is because the speaker addresses the respected members attending the program like the Principal and the teachers along with his school mates, specifying each of them separately to suit the occasion.

Option A is incorrect as the language or the approach is very informal for the occasion.

Option C is incorrect as everyone attending the program do not hold the same designation and thus everyone cannot be addressed as respected members.

Option D is incorrect as the language or the approach is very informal and it is not an appropriate greeting for the occasion.
