Answer: A. George didn't adapt his speech to be receiver- or audience-centered.

Explanation: George's speech was tailored on his personal assumption, speech showcasing great sense of humor is good and is usually used to cheer and get the audience in the mood. However, placing the audience at the center of one's speech remains the most ideal method of connecting and getting to the audience, this involves considering the regional and cultural diversity of the audience thereby helping the speaker to choose, arrange and tailor the content of his speech in other to align to the hearing pleasure of the audience.
