Question: 1 / 50

How are the sentences about public speaking and everyday conversation related in the passage?

Sentence two contradicts the statement made in the first sentence.

Sentence two shows an exception to the first sentence.

Sentence two compares two kinds of speeches.

Sentence two offers support for the statement made in the first sentence.

The correct answer is D because sentence two provides support for the statement made in the first sentence. The first sentence states that public speaking requires a different set of skills than everyday conversation, while the second sentence goes on to explain how these skills may overlap in terms of listening and non-verbal cues. By acknowledging this overlap and similarity between the two, sentence two reinforces the idea presented in the first sentence, thus offering support for it. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the relationship between the two sentences as support or overlap.
