Answer:
Audience-centeredness means that public speakers should:
a. keep the audience foremost in mind throughout the speechmaking process.
Explanation:
Audience-centeredness, as the term itself suggests, refers to putting the audience at the center of the speechmaking process. That means taking the time to know who your audience is, the people's backgrounds, beliefs, interests, desires, and so on. It means you are not simply presenting your knowledge on a certain topic and hoping the audience does the job of understanding it. You are, instead, finding ways and forms to connect with those people, to speak to them in a way they can relate to, they can truly understand and care about. That must be done while preparing the speech as well as while giving the speech.
