Question

Strong initial organization begins with the introduction, moves to a clear theme, then builds the body, and finishes with a conclusion — so the third step is to develop support for the body.

Relevant knowledge points and concepts:
- A well-structured impromptu speech follows the classic parts: introduction (attention-getter), theme/thesis (central idea), body (supporting points/evidence), and conclusion (summary/clincher).
- For impromptu speaking, quick but logical ordering lets you present coherently: open, state your main idea, back it up, and close.

Step-by-step reasoning:
1. First, create an attention-getter for the introduction so you capture the audience immediately and set the tone. This is usually prepared or improvised early because an engaging opening helps frame what follows.
2. Second, create a theme (thesis or central idea) that tells the audience what the speech will be about and what you intend to prove or explain. The theme guides the selection of supporting points.
3. Third, develop support for the body: identify 2–4 main points, examples, facts, anecdotes, statistics, or reasoning that substantiate the theme. In an impromptu setting you sketch each main point briefly and pair it with one clear supporting detail so the body is coherent and persuasive.
4. Fourth, develop a conclusion that restates the theme, summarizes the main supports, and provides a memorable closing line.

Why the correct answer is correct:
- "Develop support for the body" logically follows defining the theme; you cannot finish the body without first establishing what you need to support. It is done before crafting the final conclusion so you know what to summarize.

Why the other options are incorrect:
- "Develop a conclusion" is typically the last step, not the third.
- "Create an attention-getter for the introduction" is normally an initial step (first).
- "Create a theme" is done before building the body (second).

Therefore, the third thing you should do is develop support for the body, which matches the provided answer.
