Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A signpost is a verbal or nonverbal cue given by the speaker to help the audience navigate the organization of the speech. It can be a phrase, a gesture, or a pause that signals a shift in topic or a major point in the speech. Choices A, B, and D are not correct because a preview is a statement of what will be covered in the speech, a summary is a recap of what has been covered in the speech, and a speaker note is a personal reminder or instruction for the speaker to use during the speech.
