Question

Amelia has just been elected president of her ninth-grade class. Following is an excerpt from her speech.

Answer 1

Answer:

E

Explanation:

By using the process of elimination, we can find out that keeping arms stiff at the sides gives an impression of nervousness, monotone makes the speech sound boring, reading straight from the notes shows an impression of not being ready, and integrating multimedia elements don't do anything to engage the audience. Therefore, the only reasonable answer is E.

Answer 2

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Making eye contact while delivering a speech is vital. When an orator or the speaker makes and eye contact with his/her audience it helps build the connection. The audience feels connected with the speaker and feel that they are important. An eye contact builds the rapport (a relationship in which people are able to understand one another).

So, while delivering the speech Amelia should make eye contact with her audience as it will help her audience feel connected, build rapport, and they will be able to feel that they are important.

So, the correct answer is option E.
