Question

PLZ HELP, I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. Which strategy is most useful in maintaining eye contact with the audience during a presentation?
Pick a point on the back wall and stare at it.


Speak directly to a person in the front row.


Hold your notes directly in front of your face.


Take turns looking at several people.

Answer 1

Option D, taking turns looking at several people.

I'll go over why the other three options are bad ideas.

Option A and B do maintain eye contact, but it'll be inferred by the audience that you're looking at solely one person.

It's pretty obvious that Option C is a terrible idea, since the point of maintaining eye contact is to be looking at your audience.

The reason Option D is the best choice is because it keeps the audience engaged. By looking around a room, your audience will infer that you're addressing everyone in the room.
