Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The source refers to the communicator or the person delivering the message. In this scenario, Phyllis's popularity, attractiveness, and previous experience as class vice-president are attributes of her as the source that likely contribute to her winning the election, rather than the content of the speech (the message), how the speech was delivered (the medium), or the audience (the target).
