Explanation:
Lack of Gestures
The most common problem with public speakers is the statue like position, which they assume on the stage. The stage lies vacant and yet the speakers don’t utilize the podium at all. They stand at one place as if they have been glued to that location. This may put the amateur speaker at ease, but it comes across as a sign of nervousness and hesitation. The audience does not prefer a person to stand fixed at one place and speak.
It is considered to be acceptable only when the speaker is standing behind the lectern. So, it is always advisable to move on the stage and deliver the speech. However, please exercise caution during group discussions, as walking is not allowed in these sessions.
Lack of Energy
If the speaker cannot breathe energy into the speech, it is not possible to expect the audience to listen to it with passion. Energy is required in the delivery of speech so as to excite the audience about the topic and to keep it glued to the speech.
In group discussions, if the speaker speaks with lack of passion, he/she will be certainly interrupted by the fellow speakers and hence, this person will lose a chance to put his point forward. It is very important for the speaker to show enthusiasm and conviction towards what he/she is speaking.
In panel discussions, no one will listen to a speaker who cannot bring power in his words. If no one understands what the person has said, his/her point will not be taken forward. So, it is vital to show energy and confidence towards one’s speech.
Answer:
B. Satirical
Explanation:
The tone of the prologue is over-the-top and serves to point out social hypocrisy; it can therefore be considered satirical.
It would better improve the paragraph because it has nothin to do with the rest of the paragraph. The paragraph seems to be about team sports and promoting it, while sentence 3 is about individual sports are better then team sports. So removing sentence three would better promote CO-ED team sports.
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read The Lady Or The Tiger?, by Frank Stockton
How did the king keep from feeling guilty about this form of justice? *
a. He did not watch the festivities.
b. He made his daughter in charge of signaling judgement
c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.
d. He was barbaric and just did not feel guilty.
Answer: c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.
Explanation:
The arena of the king was meant as a device of poetic justice, where a crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, depending on what was thought to be an impartial test. Given the chance to choose one out of two doors, the criminal would face either the punishment of a tiger´s attack or the reward of a woman to get married to. Whether they would be punished or rewarded was established based on their own choice, making the King feel like has no responsibility for the result.
