Question

question 4 of 10
why is the following statement true - ideally, your information is abbreviated on the slides and then extrapolated during the presentation?
a. all fonts are very difficult to read and the less text on a slide the better.
b. this statement is not true because it is best to have all of the information typed out on the slides.
c. slides can hold a limited amount of text, and it is the presenters job to explain each idea.
d. it is not the presenters job to provide all of the information for the audience.

Explanation:

Slides have limited space. Abbreviated info on slides (like key points, headings) allows for a clean look. Presenters then elaborate during the talk. This engages the audience (as they listen to the explanation) and uses the slide as a visual aid (not an info dump).

• Option A: "All fonts are very difficult to read" is false. Many fonts are readable. Also, it's not just about font difficulty but slide space and presentation flow.
• Option B: Having all info typed out makes slides cluttered. Audiences may just read slides instead of listening.
• Option D: Presenters should provide info (via speech + slides). The statement in the question is about how (abbreviated on - slide info + explanation), not about not providing info.

Answer:

C. Slides can hold a limited amount of text, and it is the presenter's job to explain each idea.
