If a speaker notices doubt on the audience’s faces while explaining a difficult topic but still increases the speaking speed, which communication decision is inappropriate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ignoring audience feedback
The audience’s facial expressions provide non-verbal feedback about comprehension. Increasing speed after noticing doubt may make a difficult explanation even harder to follow. The speaker should slow down, clarify terms, invite questions, or give an example. Organising time, selecting examples, and protecting confidentiality are not the inappropriate decision described.
