Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Informally observing the members in his audience is the best choice as it allows Calvin to gather information without directly asking them, and he can make note of any behaviors or habits that suggest they may be smokers without revealing his speech topic. Conducting a school-wide survey or reviewing statistical data on the internet may not provide specific information about the members in his audience, while asking a representative may not be feasible in this situation.
