Question

If you wanted to know exactly what was in the entire valedictory speech delivered by Angel Ramirez, the BEST source for you to use would be
A) a transcript of the speech.

B) the local newspaper article.

C) a journal article about the graduation.

D) Angel Ramirez's 3x5 index cards from which she read.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A transcript of the speech is the only source mentioned here that would state verbatim what Angel Ramirez said in her valedictory speech. A local newspaper article would probably only mentioned that Angel was the valedictorian.

A journal about the graduation might perhaps highlight the important takeaway messages from the speech, but would not include the whole thing. The index cards would include prompts from the speech to keep Angel on track, but would say relatively little about the overall message.
