Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Recent research has cut that estimate in half, and it is now generally accepted that people can keep four or five unrelated chunks of information in their short-term memory before forgetting important information. By keeping your presentation to a small number of points, your audience will be able to remember them better when the presentation is over.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Questions immediately involve your audience and get them thinking about your presentation. They can be genuine questions you'd like your audience to answer, or rhetorical ones. This strategy does run the risk that your audience may consider the question an invitation to provide an answer that takes your presentation off track.
