If a speaker promises to take audience questions but leaves no time for them, what credibility problem arises?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A gap between words and actions
Promising a question period creates a reasonable expectation that the audience will participate. If the speaker leaves no time, the promised action and actual behaviour do not match, so trust and credibility may decline. The issue is not necessarily unclear voice, poor visual aids, or a difficult topic. It is the failure to honour a stated commitment.
