Jason had thoroughly researched his speech on the art of tattooing. He had many different types of supporting material; the speech was well organized. He was certain that this was a great speech. In the library, right before the speech, he printed out his complete outline. When presenting his speech to the class, he had to read from his outline and became nervous and anxious. Which of the following statements best pertains to this situation?A) Jason forgot to visualize success, which would have helped reduce his nervousness.B) Jason's mistake was that he didn't have enough good supporting material.C) Jason procrastinated and didn't have time to rehearse his speech aloud and on his feet.D) Jason forgot to organize his speech in a way that made sense to his audience.

C) Jason procrastinated and didn't have time to rehearse his speech aloud and on his feet.

Explanation:

Jason had so much confidence in the way he had written his speech that he neglected to practice it. He only printed the speech outline right before he was due to present it and this gave him no time to prepare.

It can be said therefore that because of his confidence in his speech, he procrastinated rehearsing his speech until it was too late and this caused him to be nervous when presenting the speech because he was only saying it for the first time.

It depends on your standpoint. If you agree they should be banned, you need to come up with at least three reasons why they should be banned

Causes pollution, destroying wildlife and the environment.Problematic degradation as it takes millions of years to break down.Better alternatives are available such as paper bags/straws, metal straws, bamboo straws, canvas bags, etc.

If you disagree, you need to find benefits as to why they shouldn't be banned, but managed instead of completely getting rid of them.

A multi-use product that paper, which is recommended as a good substitute for plastic, cannot; they're extremely versatile.People with medical disabilities benefit from the use of free plastic straws in restaurantsPlastic bags are widely appreciated for their use in wrapping food, and holding water and other wet goods.

i.e.

"Although plastic bags are quite versatile, there are plenty of alternatives such as the use of Polypropylene or canvas bags.""One might say that plastic is bad for the environment. I agree, plastic is bad for the environment while inappropriately managed. Here are some ways to manage plastic production and consumption instead of completely banning it that support my point.""Sure, plastic has many functions, but we can easily produce other materials that can replace the use of plastic entirely. These materials are not only good for the environment, but are recyclable/compostable and can degrade much faster than plastic can.""The production of other materials is much more expensive than the production of plastic. It's much more economically sound."etc.
