Read the scenario about a formal discussion. Malia and her colleagues are discussing ways to improve hiring practices. Malia thinks that their company does not do a very good job at recruiting or interviewing skilled candidates, so she has researched effective hiring practices and has brought lots of ideas with her. Malia offers the information she has brought with her. She listens carefully to her colleagues’ concerns and answers questions. She uses new terminology she learned in her research. Which statement best describes what kind of presenter Malia is? Malia is an ineffective presenter because the language she uses is not appropriate or accessible for the audience and topic. Malia is an ineffective presenter because she is critical of the company’s hiring practices, and does not respond properly. Malia is an effective presenter because she shares ideas supported by research, and she listens and responds to other members. Malia is an effective presenter because she shares her opinions and challenges the company’s current hiring practices.

Answer:

C) Malia is an effective presenter because she shares ideas supported by research, and she listens and responds to other members.

Explanation:

Why the other answers are incorrect:

A) Malia "uses new terminology she learned IN HER RESEARCH," meaning the language she uses directly applies to the topic at hand. The scenario also says nothing about her language being inaccessible for the audience.

B) It is true that Malia is "critical of the company's hiring practices" considering the scenario says that she thinks "their company does not do a very good job at recruiting or interviewing skilled candidates," so that is what her presentation would be about. However, it is not true that Malia does not respond properly because the scenario clearly states that she shares new ideas and information and responds to questions from her colleagues, which would be considered a proper response.

D) Since A and B are incorrect, by the process of elimination we know that Malia is an effective speaker (since C and D are the only options left). The statement in option D is true, but it does not explain what makes her an effective presenter. Sharing opinions without evidence is not an effective argument, and that paired with challenging the company's hiring practices is not a good balance of speaking and responding, the major indicators of an effective presentation; in the case of option D, Malia "is an effective presenter" because she only speaks, or talks AT her colleagues, which is not true because in the scenario "she listens carefully to her colleagues' concerns and answers."

The Adventure of the Speckled Band by Arthur Conan Doyle (excerpt) A large face, seared with a thousand wrinkles, burned yellow with the sun, and marked with every evil passion, was turned from one to the other of us, while his deep-set, bile-shot eyes, and his high, thin, fleshless nose, gave him somewhat the resemblance to a fierce old bird of prey. "Which of you is Holmes?" asked this apparition. "My name, sir; but you have the advantage of me," said my companion quietly. "I am Dr. Grimesby Roylott, of Stoke Moran." "Indeed, Doctor," said Holmes blandly. "Pray take a seat." "I will do nothing of the kind. My stepdaughter has been here. I have traced her. What has she been saying to you?" "It is a little cold for the time of the year," said Holmes. "What has she been saying to you?" screamed the old man furiously. "But I have heard that the crocuses promise well," continued my companion imperturbably. "Ha! You put me off, do you?" said our new visitor, taking a step forward and shaking his hunting-crop. "I know you, you scoundrel! I have heard of you before. You are Holmes, the meddler." My friend smiled. "Holmes, the busybody!" His smile broadened. "Holmes, the Scotland Yard Jack-in-office!" Holmes chuckled heartily. "Your conversation is most entertaining," said he. "When you go out close the door, for there is a decided draught." "I will go when I have said my say. Don't you dare to meddle with my affairs? I know that Miss Stoner has been here. I traced her! I am a dangerous man to fall foul of! See here." He stepped swiftly forward, seized the poker, and bent it into a curve with his huge brown hands. "See that you keep yourself out of my grip," he snarled and hurling the twisted poker into the fireplace he strode out of the room.

What themes are in Macbeth act 3 scene 1?

Reread the excerpt from President Obama's "Jobs Bill Speech." Tonight we meet at an urgent time for our country. We continue to face an economic crisis that has left millions of our neighbors jobless, and a political crisis that has made things worse. This past week, reporters have been asking “What will this speech mean for the President? What will it mean for Congress? How will it affect their polls, and the next election?” But the millions of Americans who are watching right now: they don’t care about politics. They have real life concerns. Many have spent months looking for work. Others are doing their best just to scrape by—giving up nights out with the family to save on gas or make the mortgage; postponing retirement to send a kid to college. I am sending this Congress a plan that you should pass right away. It’s called the American Jobs Act. There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that’s been supported by both Democrats and Republicans—including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything. The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: to put more people back to work and more money in the pockets of those who are working. It will create more jobs for construction workers, more jobs for teachers, more jobs for veterans, and more jobs for the long-term unemployed. It will provide a tax break for companies who hire new workers, and it will cut payroll taxes in half for every working American and every small business. It will provide a jolt to an economy that has stalled, and give companies confidence that if they invest and hire, there will be customers for their products and services. You should pass this jobs plan right away. Pass this jobs bill, and starting tomorrow, small businesses will get a tax cut if they hire new workers or raise workers’ wages. Pass this jobs bill, and all small business owners will also see their payroll taxes cut in half next year. If you have 50 employees making an average salary, that’s an $80,000 tax cut. And all businesses will be able to continue writing off the investments they make in 2012. Pass this jobs bill, and we can put people to work rebuilding America. Everyone here knows that we have badly decaying roads and bridges all over this country. Our highways are clogged with traffic. Our skies are the most congested in the world. The American Jobs Act will repair and modernize at least 35,000 schools. It will put people to work right now fixing roofs and windows; installing science labs and high-speed internet in classrooms all across this country. It will rehabilitate homes and businesses in communities hit hardest by foreclosures. It will jumpstart thousands of transportation projects across the country. And to make sure the money is properly spent and for good purposes, we’re building on reforms we’ve already put in place. Pass this jobs bill, and thousands of teachers in every state will go back to work. These are the men and women charged with preparing our children for a world where the competition has never been tougher. But while they’re adding teachers in places like South Korea, we’re laying them off in droves. It’s unfair to our kids. It undermines their future and ours. And it has to stop. Pass this jobs bill, and put our teachers back in the classroom where they belong. Pass this jobs bill, and companies will get extra tax credits if they hire America’s veterans. We ask these men and women to leave their careers, leave their families, and risk their lives to fight for our country. The last thing they should have to do is fight for a job when they come home. Pass this bill, and hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged young people will have the hope and dignity of a summer job next year. And their parents, low-income Americans who desperately want to work, will have more ladders out of poverty. . . . Then answer the question that follows. Do you think this type of argument is convincing? Give at least three reasons to support your answer. Your answer should contain the following: Your opinion Reason #1 Reason #2 Reason #3
