Answer 2

The correct answer is D. By rehearsing, you will rob your presentation of its vitality.

Explanation:

In presentations, the word rehearsing refers to the process of practicing the presentation before delivering the real presentation, this has the purpose of helping the speaker to master all the elements in the presentation including space, information, ideas, and use of tools to guarantee the final version of it is delivered in the best possible way as the speaker will be familiarized with the different elements in the presentation and also feel less nervous. This also implies even though some say rehearsal means you will rob vitality or authenticity to your presentation, you will need to rehearse as this is a false idea or a myth because rehearsing would help you to improve and avoid making mistakes.

Because of this rehearsal is required in almost all presentations, except by impromptu presentations as in this case the speaker would have to deliver a speech shortly after a specific topic is given and therefore there would not be time for rehearsal. Thus, the biggest myth or false idea about rehearsing from the options provided is that "By rehearsing, you will rob your presentation of its vitality" because this is not true as rehearsing helps you to improve, avoid mistakes and does not mean your presentation would not have energy.
