Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

There are several ways to capture the attention of the audience. You can direct attention from individual concerns to the presentation with one of a number of common techniques; Assess the Stickiness Factor (a message with impact that sticks in memory); Reveal one or more startling facts; Ask a rhetorical or actual question; Tell a joke or humorous story directly related to the topic (recognizing that self-disparaging humor is difficult to use unless it sounds genuine and spontaneous, but occupational or professional humor does not affect speaker image); Briefly cite two or three specific relevant incidents or examples; Refer to the specific occasion or event; Quote or paraphrase a well-known publication or expert, and if relevant, briefly demonstrate the item or skill discussed in the presentation.
