Question

Which of the following is a verbal strategy in public speaking?​

Answer 1

I believe it is B: Repeating Key Words for Emphasis. Gestures and Eye Contact are physical.

However, it could be D, because it is also technically verbal.

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct answer is: D

Varying the rate at which you speak

Explanation:

Anything verbal refers to your voice, talking or sound. The only option that has anything to do with sound/talking is varying the pitch of your voice. The other options are nonverbal strategies because they do not involve the sound your voice makes. Maintaining eye contact, using gestures and facial expressions are all nonverbal strategies. Using notes subtly is also a nonverbal strategy to help the speaker make eye contact rather than read the speech of a piece of paper or prompter.
