Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

In a typical presentation of 15-20 minutes, limit your presentation to only a few major subpoints (typically three to five) that support or flesh out your primary theme or topic in order to avoid overwhelming and boring your audience. You can use several techniques to ensure the audience understands your point and reinforces it:
(a) Provide support in a form that is easy to understand. Three techniques will assist you in accomplishing this goal:
(i) Use simple vocabulary and short sentences that the listener can understand easily and that sound conversational and interesting.
(ii) Avoid jargon or technical terms that the listeners might not understand.
(iii) Use a familiar frame of reference.
(b) Provide relevant statistics. Provide statistics or other quantitative measures to lend authority and credibility to your points.
(c) Use quotes from prominent people. Comments made by other authorities are helpful in establishing credibility.
(d) Use interesting anecdotes. Audiences like and remember anecdotes or interesting stories that tie into the presentation and make strong emotional connections.
(e) Use jokes and humor appropriately. A joke or humor can create a special bond between you and the audience, ease your approach to sensitive subjects, disarm a nonreceptive audience, or make your message easy to understand and remember.
(f) Use presentation visuals. Presentation visuals, such as handouts, presentation software, and demonstrations, enhance the effectiveness of the presentation.
(g) Encourage audience involvement. Skilled presenters involve their audiences through techniques such as asking reflective questioning, role playing, directing audience-centered activities, and incorporating current events or periodicals that tie directly to the message.
