memorize every word of it.

Explanation:

When practicing a speech, practicing out loud, speaking clearly/conversationally, and using keyword - phrase notes are good practices. Memorizing every word can make the speech seem rigid and less natural, and it's also hard to recover if a mistake is made. So a speaker should avoid memorizing every word.

Answer:

D. Memorize every word of it.
