Which type of speech would be suitable for acknowledging a person's achievements?

A speech of tribute is specifically tailored to honor and recognize a person's achievements, contributions, or virtues. This type of speech typically includes anecdotes, personal reflections, and praise aimed at celebrating the individual’s accomplishments and impact on others or the community. It allows the speaker to convey admiration and respect, creating a meaningful acknowledgment of the person's significance.

In contrast, a speech of presentation is focused on formally presenting an award or recognition to an individual, but it does not carry the same personal and emotional tone as a tribute. A speech of acceptance is delivered by someone receiving an award or recognition, sharing gratitude and acknowledgment, and is more about the recipient's gratitude than celebrating achievements directly. A speech to inform is designed to give information on a topic without necessarily focusing on honoring an individual; it is more educational in nature and doesn't involve acknowledgment of personal accomplishments.
