Which of the following would be your best approach to ensure you do not speak longer than your six minutes? A. You should speak until the six minutes is up and stop wherever you are in the report at that time. B. You should finish the speech and then have your parents call to complain that the teacher's policy was unfair. C. You should quickly assess the information in the speech, determine which remaining information is the least essential, and then take that part out of the speech. D. You should start to speed up your rate of speaking so that you can fit the entire speech in during the time allotted. If necessary, speak as loudly as quickly as you can.

The correct answer is letter C. The best approach to deliver a speech in no longer than six minutes is to make an outline of every detail in order to be able to determine what is relevant to the speech and take out the unnecessary information of it. Once this process has been done, the speaker will reduce the amount of words and the speech will be delivered clearly and in time. Options in letters A, B, and D are not good approaches to deliver a speech. Approaches in letter A and D will only make the speaker deliver an interminable, rambling speech. Approach in letter B just presents an incorrect way of behavior towards the educator. All in all, letter C is the correct answer.
