Correct answers should also consider the speech’s ability to inform and persuade the listener about Helen’s situation and her innocence.

Correct answers should consider the speaker’s ability to provide multiple points to support his argument (e.g., that Fate and force caused her actions, that she was a victim, that she was persuaded as many others are, etc.). Correct answers could also note the speaker’s introduction and conclusion as effective and could mention how the speaker reflects on points that the audience can relate to.
