Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Reading a speech is necessary in rare instances, such as when delivering legal information, policy statements, or other messages that must be conveyed in an exact manner. However, for all other business presentations, reading is a poor choice because it limits your interaction with the audience and lacks the fresh, dynamic feel of natural talking.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Practicing a presentation is critical to the success of the presentation. However, if a mistake is made, how the speaker handles the mistake will help the speaker look professional and confident, or not. Practicing allows the speaker to move through problems in the presentation with grace and confidence.
