Question 15 • 2024-25_Online Learning and Digital Citizenship_TLC
Alice is practicing a speech she will give to her bosses, and wants her friends to critique her performance. During the speech, she moves around the room and talks to all sections of the audience. She also pauses often and frequently uses "you know” and "like” in an effort to relate to the audience.What advice would her classmates most likely give about her presentation?
Answer
A
They encourage her to pause more often to make the audience feel comfortable.
B
They encourage her to stand behind the podium and not move around so much.
C
They tell her to avoid using “you know” and “like” because the phrases are too informal.
D
They tell her to focus on one audience member rather than looking around the room.
Explanation
Moving around and addressing all sections of the audience can help keep listeners engaged. However, “you know” and “like” are filler phrases that may sound too informal in a speech to her bosses, so her classmates would likely advise her to avoid them. She is already pausing often, so she does not need to pause more.
