Answer 1

The correct answer is option 2. Practice presenting in front of friend or family

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally while making an oral presentation three things are very vital-

a) Cover all the vital points of the research work presented through oral presentation thus writing all the points on a piece of paper is must.

b) One must use appropriate body gesture while giving the presentation , thus practicing in front of mirror is also a required exercise

c) The presenter must be able to deliver his/her presentation in the stipulated time period thus timing the presentation is also important.
