Why is it inappropriate to use like, y'know, and um as space-fillers in a presentation (Choose the best answer.)? They are not useful and do not add to the conversation. They make you sound too informal. They are unprofessional in a business setting. Only teenagers use them. They make you sound too young. They are fine to use in moderation.

Using those type of words is,  they are used as fillers so you would probably much rather gather you're thoughts in a professional setting than saying y'know or um and might want to limit the word like.  so my opinion it would be that "they are unprofessional in a business setting
