• Logical and coherent approach: This enhances the audience's understanding of a new topic.
• Language is accessible to the audience and encourages them to engage and participate.
• Honesty of the intimations encourages agreement in the audience. Honesty in presenting facts and details builds trust and credibility, making it easier for the audience to agree with the information.
