Alice is practicing a speech she will give to her bosses, and wants her friends to critique her performance. during the speech, she moves around the room and talks to all sections of the audience. she also pauses often and frequently uses "you know” and "like” in an effort to relate to the audience. what advice would her classmates most likely give about her presentation? they encourage her to pause more often to make the audience feel comfortable. they encourage her to stand behind the podium and not move around so much. they tell her to avoid using “you know” and “like” because the phrases are too informal. they tell her to focus on one audience member rather than looking around the room.

The correct answer is C. They tell her to avoid using “you know” and “like” because the phrases are too informal.

Explanation:

In formal speeches such as the ones delivered in academic contexts or job, it is especially important to preserve formal language which implies avoiding the use of contractions and informal phrases or words such as slangs or colloquialisms. Instead, the speaker needs to use technical or formal language.  On the other hand, in most speeches, it is acceptable to try to engage the audience by moving around and addressing it. This implies, in the case of Alice it  is acceptable to moves around and talks to different people in the audience; however, as Alice is delivering a speech in a formal context (addressing her bosses) her classmates would probably advise her to stop using "you known" and "like" is not appropriate as these are too informal for her context.
