Answer 1

Here are the guidelines Nila should follow in preparation for answering questions at the end of her presentation:

1. She should provide brief, to-the-point answers to questions.
2. She should offer a resource when she does not know the answer.
3. She should anticipate possible questions beforehand.

The other options are not recommended practices:

• Giving comprehensive, long-form answers can lead to confusion or loss of interest.
• Refusing to address difficult questions can reflect poorly on her presentation.
• Pretending to know the answer to every question can undermine credibility if it becomes apparent that she doesn't actually know.
