Question

multiple choice question
when you paraphrase someone to provide testimony in a speech, you:

○ weaken that persons support for the point you are making
○ give the gist of someone elses statement in your own words
○ violate ethical standards of public speaking
○ create a new way of describing an event

Explanation:

Paraphrasing testimony in a speech means restating someone else's core message using your own language, while preserving the original meaning. It does not weaken support, violate ethics (when done properly and cited), nor is it solely about rephrasing events.

Answer:

B. give the gist of someone else's statement in your own words
