C) It could be improved because she is defining terms that are likely already understood by her audience.
By defining terms like "global citizen" and "lifelong learners," Lauren assumes that her audience may already be familiar with these concepts. This could potentially make her speech less engaging or condescending to the audience, as they might perceive it as unnecessary explanations of terms that are commonly understood. To improve her approach, Lauren could focus on providing specific examples or anecdotes related to developing global citizens and lifelong learners, rather than spending time defining these terms.
