Answer:

I believe the sentence that is NOT a reason why author and speakers consider their audience when crafting a text of speech is:

A) to make their own opinions closer to the audience's opinions.

Explanation:

Authors and speakers must take their audiences into consideration if they wish to be effective communicators. By anticipating their audience's background knowledge, social and economic status, age, gender, educational level etc., communicators can adapt their writing and speech to ensure their message will be conveyed thoroughly and respectfully. They can also choose the proper means to keep the audience interested.

However, "to make their own opinions closer to the audience's opinion" is not a reason for audience analysis. The purpose of the authors and the speakers is to convince the audience of their own opinion. They will not adapt the opinion itself, only the way and means through which it is conveyed. Their goal is the opposite: to make the audience's opinion closer to their own.
