The statement is the central idea of the speech, which is the main topic or focus that the speaker wants to convey to the audience. A subpoint would be a supporting idea that further elaborates on or provides evidence for the central idea. General purpose refers to the overall objective of the speech (e.g. to inform, persuade, entertain). Specific behavioral purpose is a statement that identifies a specific action or behavior the speaker wants the audience to engage in after the speech.
