Question

You have been asked to deliver a speech on 'Climate Change and Strategies'. Select the appropriate salutation.

• A. A very good afternoon to all of you,
• B. Hello everyone,
• C. Climate change is a buzzword of the day....
• D. Thank you all for coming today,

Answer 1

The correct option is A A very good afternoon to all of you,

We should always acknowledge and greet the audience before starting with the topic of a speech. A proper salutation serves the purpose of proper greetings.

The correct answer is Option A. While starting with a global issue the salutation should be short and polite and then the speaker starts introducing the topic. Thus, Option A serves as the correct salutation here.

Option B is incorrect as the salutation is too informal for the purpose.

Option C is incorrect as it starts introducing the topic without greeting the audience.

Option D is incorrect as 'thank you' is generally used to conclude a speech or a program and does not suit as a proper salutation.
