Question 12

When delivering a presentation,which method of speaking is generally the most effective and easiest?

Accepted Answer

D)Speaking from notes (rather than from a fully written script)is nearly always the most effective and easiest delivery mode. This approach gives you something to refer to as you progress while still allowing for plenty of eye contact, a natural speaking flow, interaction with the audience, and improvisation in response to audience feedback.

B)Practicing your presentation is essential. Practice boosts your confidence, gives you a more professional demeanor, and lets you verify the operation of your visuals and equipment.

Use this view to add and delete slides, reposition slides, check slides for design consistency, and verify the operation of any effects. Moreover, the slide sorter is a great way to review the flow of your story.

Your interpreter or host will be able to suggest appropriate changes for a specific audience or occasion.

Question 17

Being prepared to read a speech is the most effective delivery method when the speaker is nervous and concerned about leaving out important information.

Accepted Answer

Reading a speech is necessary in rare instances, such as when delivering legal information, policy statements, or other messages that must be conveyed in an exact manner. However, for all other business presentations, reading is a poor choice because it limits your interaction with the audience and lacks the fresh, dynamic feel of natural talking.

Question 18

Practicing your presentation is essential. Practice boosts your confidence, gives you a more professional demeanor, and lets you verify the operation of your visuals and equipment.

A day or two before you're ready to step on stage for an important talk, make sure you and your presentation are ready.

Question 19

Which of the following can include informational and supporting detail that the audience can review on their own time?

Accepted Answer

D)Handouts-any printed materials you give the audience to supplement your talk-should be considered an integral part of your presentation strategy. Handouts can include detailed charts and tables, case studies, research results, magazine articles, and anything else that supports the main idea of your presentation.

Question 20

Effective slides should be standalone documents that can be read on their own,without a presenter.

Accepted Answer

Another reason for ineffective slides is the practice of treating slide sets as standalone documents that can be read on their own, without a presenter. (The emergence of websites such as SlideShare might be contributing to this, too, by making it so easy to share slide sets.)These "slideument" hybrids that try to function as both presentation visuals and printed documents don't work well as either.
