What should the top of your speech outline identify?

General audience
Specific purpose
Time limit
Main arguments

The correct answer is: Specific purpose

The top of your speech outline should clearly identify the specific purpose of your speech because this serves as the guiding objective for your presentation. The specific purpose details exactly what you aim to accomplish with your speech, such as informing, persuading, or entertaining your audience. By clearly stating this at the beginning, you establish a focus for your content and ensure that all your points and arguments support this central objective. Having a well-defined specific purpose helps you as the speaker to remain on track and allows your audience to understand the intention behind your speech, leading to a more effective delivery and engagement. This clarity can also aid in organizing your main arguments and structuring the overall flow of your presentation, as each part of your outline can connect back to this clearly stated purpose.
