Identify the flaw in the following specific purpose statement for a classroom speech: "to inform my audience about the stock market." it's too figurative. it's too detailed. it's too general. it's too technical. it's too trivial.

The correct answer would be option C, It is too General.

Explanation:

Before examining the characteristics of a stock market to state the statements as right or wrong, we need to understand the concept of Stock Market. So a stock market is simply a Stock Exchange, a place where buying or selling of currencies, commodities, precious metals, etc take place. It is a place for trading. It is a place which has a lot of figures concerning telling about the prices of a specific product, it is detailed, technical and trivial, but it is not too general, rather it is a concise market where every detail is listed about the stocks. So option C is the answer having flaws in it.  

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
