Ladonna is giving a presentation on how summer hours programs—which allow employees to work an extra half-hour a day so they can take every third friday off—affect morale. she begins her presentation with a funny story about how she lost her room key on her last vacation. everyone in the audience laughs. how appropriate was this as an attention-getter?

It was inappropriate because it did not engage the audience in thinking about her ideas

Explanation:

It is important to do something that catch the attention from the viewer in the beginning of the presentation. (making jokes or telling personal experience as an opening is actually a good way to do this).

But, the opening that we use MUST be relevant in someways to the topic that we about to deliver in the presentation, or at least provide an opening for a transition to the main topic. The opening that provided by Ladonna provided none of these things.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (8) eight.

hello,

your answer is ready

i believe its either the first or third option but i'm leaning more towards the third option:

the first excerpt makes a logical appeal, while the second excerpt makes an emotional appeal.
