When preparing a speech, it's best to consider how your message will resonate with the audience, rather than focusing on tricking them or solely benefiting yourself. Out of the options provided, none represent a constructive mindset for effective public speaking.

A more suitable approach would be to ask questions such as:

  • How can I engage the audience?
  • What techniques can I use to make my message relatable?
  • How can I effectively convey my key points?

If you had to choose from the options given, the most acceptable might be "What is the quickest way to get a laugh?" as humor can foster connection, but it should be done purposefully and in a way that supports your overall message.
