Which term is a speech praising or honoring someone who has died?

• A. Discriminative listening
• B. Empathetic listening
• C. Eulogy
• D. Euphemism

Answer: (C)

The main concept here is the specific term for a speech that honors someone who has died. A eulogy is a formal address given at funerals or memorials that praises and remembers the deceased, highlighting their life, character, and impact on others. It’s meant to celebrate the person and offer comfort to the bereaved, often through anecdotes and reflections on their virtues. This differs from discriminative listening, which is about distinguishing sounds; empathetic listening, which focuses on understanding another person’s feelings; and euphemism, which is a softened or indirect way of saying something harsh. So, the speech that honors the deceased is a eulogy.
