What will be an ideal response?


Restatement is the repetition of words, phrases, or ideas so as to clarify and reinforce them. The key is not to simply repeat yourself, but to rephrase in order for the audience to understand and accept the idea being presented. The answers will vary in terms of examples, however, there are a number of television commercials that advertise a product and use jingles to rephrase the merits of the product.
