Answer 1

Here’s how each choice describes an ineffective or effective presentation style:

**Ineffective**
- ends sentences with a rising tone
- using filler statements such as “like” or “I mean”

**Effective**
- speaks in declarative sentences
- shifting gaze across the audience while speaking

Overall, effective presentation styles engage the audience and convey confidence, while ineffective styles can distract and undermine the speaker’s message.
