Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Important words and ideas should be spoken slowly, while unimportant words or phrases
should be spoken more rapidly. Changing the rate or tempo of speech contributes to variety,
as well as clarity.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
A drop in pitch usually signals finality or determination and is, therefore, used at the end of a
declarative sentence. A rise in pitch can signal a question or an expression of suspense,
doubt, or hesitation.
