- B. Use the same register for every task in Preparing a spoken presentation
- C. Ignore form, paragraphing and argument for : choose and shape a
- D. Add descriptive detail without controlling tone in Presenting and responding
Answer
The correct answer selects a focused presentation topic that can sustain formal discussion, explanation and response to questions.
Explanation
This AO7 question tests whether the topic is suitable for the spoken endorsement. The best choice should be focused, formal enough for assessment and open enough to support explanation and questions. A weak topic may be entertaining but too vague or too personal to develop clearly. This keeps topic selection distinct from audience examples because it judges whether the subject itself is fit for a formal presentation.
Common mistake
presentation: summary instead of analysis
Students sometimes summarise Preparing a spoken presentation instead of explaining how the objective works in the answer.
Correct this by selecting a brief detail, explaining its effect, and linking the point back to "AO7: choose and shape a specific topic for a formal spoken presentation."
