Derek has been assigned to give a two-minute speech about history or government. His audience will be his classmates, who have the same assignment. Derek decides his specific purpose will be to name the U. S. presidents, describing the greatest achievement and reciting a brief quotation from each one. Which question did Derek forget to ask himself about his specific purpose?
