Question

what should an author do to hook the audience at the opening of a presentation? choose three answers.
□ pose a thought - provoking question
□ share a related quotation
□ name the topic of the presentation
□ tell a related joke or personal story
□ state evidence that supports a claim
□ summarize the main points

Explanation:

To hook the audience at a presentation's opening, techniques that engage or intrigue are used.

• Posing a thought - provoking question makes the audience think and be interested in the answer, so it's a good hook.
• Sharing a related quotation can set a tone or introduce an idea in an engaging way, serving as a hook.
• Telling a related joke or personal story creates a connection with the audience and grabs their attention.
• Naming the topic is just stating what the presentation is about, not a hook.
• Stating evidence that supports a claim is more for the body of the presentation to support arguments, not for hooking at the start.
• Summarizing the main points is for the conclusion, not the opening.

Answer:

A. pose a thought - provoking question, B. share a related quotation, D. tell a related joke or personal story
