Question

daniel is giving a speech and loses his place because he didnt prepare clear notes. he gets really nervous and frazzled as he tries to continue. he mispronounces several words throughout his speech such as ethic, conformity, and individualism. in the middle of the speech he puts his hands over his face, looks down at the podium and starts to mumble parts of his speech at a very high speed. he rushes through the rest of the speech, never looking up at the audience, and then runs off the stage.

in evaluating the daniels physical delivery which of the following is the most consistent problem for the speaker?
a. gestures
b. eye contact
c. facial expressions
d. movement

Explanation:

The question focuses on Daniel's physical delivery issues. Key details: he looks down at the podium, never looks up at the audience, and only has one noted gesture (hands over face). Eye contact is consistently missing throughout the rest of his speech, which is a sustained physical delivery problem. Gestures, facial expressions, and movement are either single instances or not the most consistent issue.

Answer:

b. eye contact
