true

56.) Reading tends to make delivery indirect; both speaker and audience are usually robbed of any feeling of direct communication, principally because the speaker glues his eyes to his manuscript. A speaker must practice keeping his eyes on his audience.

67.) When reading from a manuscript, a speaker should look at his hearers for only 20 per cent of the time.
true

78.) Notes are an important tool for impromptu speaking. Notes provide a ready means of suggesting what might be said.
true

89.) Two methods can be used to secure excellence in delivery. One consists in training yourself to concentrate intensely on the ideas embedded in language. The other consists in training your voice and body to become more responsive to ideas.
true

91.) A speaker must work deliberately to portray helpful emotions and attitudes; remember that emotion and attitude when associated with ideas: promote improved memory of the subject and add variety to the delivery.
true

105.) The voice, through its inflections, changes in tone and rate, carries meanings which are not expressed by written symbols alone. Emotion and feeling--and the absence of emotion and feeling--effect our vocal tones.
