Answer to Question 1

C
Speakers should allot most of their time to the body of a speech. They should allot about 15
percent of their time to the introduction, 70 percent to the body, and 15 percent to the
conclusion.

Answer to Question 2

D
Using long words and acronyms is best avoided when making a speech. Use nickel words
short and easy-to understand words instead of dollar words long words used in a futile
attempt to impress listeners. Do not use abbreviations, acronyms, or technical terms that are
unfamiliar to the audience.
