Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laticia should limit her presentation to three or four key points to ensure they are memorable to the listeners within the time frame given. Having too much material may lead to confusion, and it is unlikely that all the key points will be covered in only 10 minutes. While maintaining eye contact is important, it is not the most crucial factor in this situation.
