Question

alberto is afraid that he is going to deliver a bad speech next week when he presents to his university’s alumni council. alberto has a strong speech, but he is terrified of speaking in front of the alumni council. what is alberto suffering from? acrophobia atychiphobia agoraphobia glossophobia

Explanation:

• Acrophobia is fear of heights, so it's not relevant.
• Atychiphobia is fear of failure, but Alberto's fear is about speaking in front of others, not failure in general.
• Agoraphobia is fear of open or public spaces (often with panic attack implications), not specific to speaking.
• Glossophobia is the fear of public speaking, which matches Alberto's terror of speaking to the alumni council.

Answer:

D. Glossophobia
