Answer to Question 2

To deliver a presentation that focuses on the wants and expectations of an audience, you must determine who it is, what motivates it, how members think, and how members make decisions. Helpful information you can obtain about most audiences includes ages, genders, occupations, educational levels, attitudes, values, broad and specific interests, and needs.
As a general rule, audiences do want to be in tune with a speaker. A speech about climate change to a farm group should address the farmers' problems, for example, and not focus on theories of global warming. Additionally, different strategies are needed for audiences who think and make decisions differently.
