Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) 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: B
Explanation: B) Handouts are any printed materials you give the audience to supplement your talk. As such, they should be considered an integral part of your presentation strategy. Handouts can include detailed charts and tables, case studies, research results, magazine articles, and anything else that supports the main idea of your presentation.
