Questions: Choose the factors you should consider when identifying your intended audience for a writing assignment. Select all that apply. - how much the audience likely already knows about your topic - the audience's demographic factors (age, gender, cultural background, socioeconomic status, etc.) - the audience's degree of skepticism with you and your topic - the degree of formality of your relationship with the audience - whether other writers have already presented the same topic to your audience

The factors to consider when identifying your intended audience for a writing assignment are:

• how much the audience likely already knows about your topic
• the audience's demographic factors (age, gender, cultural background, socioeconomic status, etc.)
• the audience's degree of skepticism with you and your topic
• the degree of formality of your relationship with the audience

Understanding the audience's prior knowledge helps tailor the content to either introduce new concepts or build on existing knowledge, ensuring the writing is neither too simplistic nor too complex.

Demographic factors influence how the audience perceives and engages with the content. For example, cultural background can affect the interpretation of certain references or examples.

Knowing the audience's skepticism level can guide the tone and depth of evidence required to persuade or inform effectively.

The formality of the relationship dictates the writing style, tone, and language used, ensuring it is appropriate for the context and audience expectations.

While this is relevant for understanding the context, it is less about identifying the audience and more about positioning your work within existing literature.
