Question
rafa wasnt convinced. \thats easy for you to say, taj,\ he said. \youve been acting in plays for years; youre used to being in front of an audience.\ taj smiled in agreement and said, \yes, ive had more experience, but the key to a confident delivery is rehearsal.\ worrying about the project wasnt getting rafa anywhere. he focused his attention on the part of the project he knew he was good at: research. effortlessly, he began researching nikola tesla, a pioneer in the area of electricity. rafa confidently moved through the steps in the research process: identifying a topic, searching for information, evaluating sources, taking notes. suddenly, caught by a familiar fear, he stopped short of the last step, which was writing the report. \cmon rafa,\ he said to himself, \just write it.\ tentatively, he continued working on the report for two weeks. rafa felt confident that the highlights of teslas career would make for an engaging presentation. the report was cohesive, the research was thorough, and the diagrams were accurate. but when rafa rehearsed the presentation in front of a mirror, he tripped over his words and gave up before covering all the great research he had prepared. what had taj said about memorizing words? which detail from the passage best supports the conclusion that confidence plays a large role in delivering a successful presentation? a \dont fret, rafa. lots of people get nervous speaking in front of people,\ taj said, trying to help rafa feel better about the assignment. b rafa asked, \how do you remember all of the lines for your plays and recite everything perfectly?\ c \and as for perfect delivery, it only needs to seem perfect to the audience.\ d \after much consideration, i have decided which student to invite to the historys heroes speech competition.\
- Option A shows that confidence (Taj's attempt to boost Rafa's confidence) is related to handling a presentation - as nervousness (lack of confidence) is a common issue in presentations.
- Option B is about remembering lines, not directly about confidence in delivery.
- Option C is about the perception of delivery, not confidence.
- Option D is about a competition invitation, not related to confidence in presentation delivery.
