Analyze and Adapt to Your Audience — Unit test

Question 46 • TX-Communication Applications

Which of the following best illustrates how public speaking can help you improve your social skills?

Answer

You are given an assignment to present your science project to the entire class, and the teacher is so impressed with your presentation that you receive extra credit.

Rather than get into a heated argument with your parents, you are able to calmly and rationally explain to them why you feel your curfew should be more flexible.

You present yourself very well during a job interview and the employer offers you an entry level position with the company.

None of the above.

Explanation

Public speaking can strengthen social skills by helping you communicate calmly, clearly, and respectfully with other people. Explaining to your parents why you want a more flexible curfew without arguing is an example of using those skills in a personal interaction. The science presentation and job interview show academic or career benefits instead.
