Asap i will mark you ! how does understanding the characteristics of public speaking affect how you view a speech? a. it you understand the purpose of the speech. b. it teaches you about who the speaker is. c. it you determine how effective the speech is. d. it allows you to take better notes on the speech. e. it you become more like the speaker.

A. It helps you understand the purpose of the speech.

It would be a "step into their shoes," kind of situation. Once you know the background logic, it is easier to understand the message and claim of the speech.

I hope I helped!
