Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) First, restate or summarize the question to be sure everyone heard it and that you understand it correctly. Repeating also gives you time to think of an answer. Second, begin your response with your main point. Otherwise, you may appear to be disorganized or evasive. Finally, follow up with details. As you answer, avoid looking only at the person who asked the question. Get the entire room involved in caring aboutand understandingyour point. As you finish your answer, bring your eye contact back to the original questioner, to signal that you have finished.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Think in advance about questions your audience is likely to ask and map out a short answer in your head. When you anticipate questions and plan short answers, you avoid the temptation to ramble. Otherwise, you might talk aimlessly until you discover the point you want to make.
