Question

consider the scenario below.
eliza, manuel, olivia, and tony are all running for class president. today, in the school auditorium, the four candidates will deliver speeches on why they are the best choice for class president. for the last few days each of the students has been practicing for their speech.

which of the examples below best demonstrates use of effective rehearsal strategies?
a. eliza practiced her speech several times while looking into the mirror, paying close attention to her body language.
b. manuel recited his speech in front of his brother and sister. he focused on his annunciation, pace, and projection.
c. olivia practiced her speech at school. three of her friends acted as audience members, and asked her questions. they also gave her constructive feedback.
d. to prepare for his presentation tony practiced his speech in the shower, on the bus, and while walking down the street.

Explanation:

Effective speech rehearsal strategies involve simulating the actual presentation environment, getting interactive feedback, and practicing handling audience interactions. Olivia's practice includes a mock audience that asks questions and provides constructive feedback, which most closely mimics the real speech scenario (where she may face questions and needs to refine her content based on input) compared to the other options, which focus only on self-practice or basic delivery without interactive feedback.

Answer:

c. Olivia practiced her speech at school. Three of her friends acted as audience members, and asked her questions. They also gave her constructive feedback.
