Audience members decide in the first several minutes of a speech whether they will give their full attention to the speaker and believe what he or she has to say.
true/false

True.

Explanation:

Public Speaking is a phenomenon of giving a live presentation to the audience which includes a variety of topics.

In public speaking both the presentation of the speaker and the response of the audience are important.

The quality of the presentation of the speech can be judged by the responses of the audience.

If the audience is comfortable with the presentation of the speaker they will respond to your presentation by nodding and agreeing to what the speaker says. This response can be seen in the audience in the first few minutes of the speech.

So, the answer is true.
