When Tomas gave his speech, the heating system was not working correctly. Knowing that his audience felt hot and cranky, Tomas began his speech by saying, "I know we are all very uncomfortable from the temperature. But I want you all to close your eyes and imagine the heat coming from the sun while you are lying in the sand listening to the waves at one of my favorite vacation spots, Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida!" The class became energized, and Tomas was able to keep his audience's attention. Why?

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the explanation is the same, I will omit it:

The class became energized, and Tomas was able to keep his audience's attention. Why?

A. The body of his speech was well organized.

B. He drew attention away from the topic of his speech.

C. He paid attention to the audience's demographics.

D. He used the physical situation to his advantage.

The class became energized and paid attention because:

D. He used the physical situation to his advantage.

E. He refuse to be influenced negatively by the physical setting.

Explanation:

Tomas himself could have gotten cranky due to the heat, but he refused to let that affect him negatively. Instead, he came up with an interesting way to make the heat acceptable to his audience. By asking them to imagine they are on a beach, Tomas was able to get them to feel good. Their brains are no longer focusing on how irritating it is to be at a place where the heating system does not work properly. Quite the contrary, the heat is actually helpful when it comes to imagining a hot, tropical, paradisiac place. Tomas was able to take advantage of the situation.
