Answer:

B. Colon

Explanation:

The punctuation mark that tells the reader to pay direct attention to the following information is the colon.

A colon is often used to separate two independent clauses when the second explains or illustrates the first. It also usually precedes a list, quotation, or block quotation.

The rest of the listed punctuation marks do not draw the reader's attention to the content that follows as much as the colon does.

3. What are some reasons why students experience difficulty delivering an extemporaneous speech? Own understanding​
m_a_m_a [10]

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.
