Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
E)In addition to limiting the overall scope of your message, limit the number of major supporting points to a half dozen or so-and if you can get your idea across with fewer points, all the better. Listing 20 or 30 supporting points might feel as though you're being thorough, but your audience is likely to view such detail as rambling and mind numbing.
