Imagine the scenario below. Which choice best demonstrates the use of rehearsal techniques to anticipate and solve problems? For his presentation about the influence of jazz music on hip-hop, Cameron designed a slide- show on his laptop. When his images failed to project onto the screen at the front of the room, Cameron
Answer
A
apologized to his audience, and announced that the presentation would be rescheduled for later that day.
B
apologized to his audience, announced a 30 minute break, and frantically began dialing numbers for technical support.
C
remained silent hoping to give the impression of being composed, while he nervously fiddled around with the computer cables.
D
apologized to his audience for the disruption, proceeded to hand-out packets containing copies of the slides, and resumed his presentation.
Explanation
Rehearsal techniques include anticipating possible problems and preparing a backup plan. Cameron can keep the presentation going by distributing packets with copies of his slides when the projector fails. Choice D demonstrates this preparedness; postponing, calling for technical support, or silently fumbling with the cables does not solve the immediate problem for the audience.
