Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (1) persuasive ; (2) well-structured ; (3) lasting.
Context: The sentence describes a speech and its qualities, so the adjectives must logically fit the flow of describing impact and structure.
Meaning of the words:
Persuasive – Able to convince or influence others.
Well-structured – Organized in a clear and logical way.
Lasting – Producing a long-term effect or impression.
Reason: The speech first impresses by its ability to influence (persuasive), then by its clear organization (well-structured), and finally leaves a lasting impression on the audience.
