Which term is a speech given during graduation ceremony?

• A. Aural
• B. Speech of Presentation
• C. Speech of Acceptance
• D. Commencement Address

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is recognizing the term that names the speech delivered at the graduation ceremony. The event itself is called a commencement, and the speech given during that ceremony is the Commencement Address. It’s the formal address to the graduates as they finish one chapter and begin the next, often reflecting on achievements and offering guidance for the future. The other terms don’t fit the specific context of a graduation ceremony speech: an aural relates to hearing, not a speech; a Speech of Presentation is the talk given when presenting diplomas or awards; a Speech of Acceptance is spoken by someone accepting an award.
