Which speech characteristic is often described as having a predictable and repetitive tone?

Dynamic
Engaging
Monotone
Expressive

The correct answer is: Monotone

The characteristic of speech that is described as having a predictable and repetitive tone is monotone. A monotone delivery means that the speaker does not vary their pitch, volume, or rhythm significantly, which can make the speech sound flat and unchanging. This lack of variation can lead to a predictable tone that may fail to capture the audience's interest or convey emotion effectively. In contrast, dynamic speech involves varying tone and delivery, making the presentation more lively and engaging. Engaging speech captures the audience's attention through varied vocal qualities and personal connection. Expressive speech incorporates a wide range of emotions and vocal variations, adding depth and interest to the delivery. These characteristics enhance communication and can foster audience engagement, unlike monotone speech, which may not resonate well.
