Answer to Question 1

D
Pitch is the attribute of voice that Janet should work on. Pitch refers to the level of a sound on
a musical scale. Practice can help correct the shrillness of a voice that is pitched too high or
the excessive resonance of a voice that is pitched too low.

Answer to Question 2

D
Toying with an object, such as a paper clip, on the table in front of you is an ineffective
practice when talking to an audience. While you are talking, do not distract your listeners by
pulling at your clothing; putting your hands to your face or hair; or toying with an object.
