Answer: Depends on Content and Audience.
Explanation:
Deciding which strategy to use depends on the content of the work to be presented or the audience being presented to.
If the content is positive or if the audience are Positive or neutral about the work to be presented, the Direct Strategy is preferable. This refers to stating the conclusion or main idea at the beginning of the presentation and then working to explain it.
However, if you deduce that the audience are not positive to the content or that the content is not exactly good news or positive, it would be best to use the Indirect approach. With this approach you start with the evidence and other information then state the conclusion or main idea towards the end. This gives you the opportunity to win the audience over or at least explain why the content is negative before they reach the conclusion.
