Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option in effect. So, the correct sentence is – Mr. Roosevelt’s speech had an unexpected effect on the audience.

Explanation:

The other options include effectation which is not applicable here. The other option is affectation which is also not applicable here just like the previous one.  

The confusion comes between affect and effect where "affect is used as verb" where, "effect is used as noun". Also, affect can have both positive and negative impact on someone, but effect generally do have negative impact.
