Question

The "fake it until you make it" approach to public speaking: a. Improves the positive feelings of the speaker in some contexts. b. Can reduce or eliminate the need to prepare carefully. c. Eliminates speech anxiety. d. Is a very risky approach.

Answer 1

The answer is a. Improves the positive feelings of the speaker in some contexts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The “fake it until you make it” approach to public speaking can build confidence in speakers who are not confident enough; the approach works to a great extent if such speakers continuously get themselves out there and always say something, no matter the situation; with time the subconscious, which can’t really distinguish between real and fake, would begin to believe and adapt, and become naturally confident enough to always maintain the positive feelings that great speakers radiate.

Answer 2

a. Improves the positive feeling of the speaker in some contexts.

Step-by-step explanation:

“Fake it until you make it” is an English epigram which suggests that if you imitate some desired qualities such as confidence, success or competence, one would eventually start to see these qualities in their real life.
