Hey boy answer this question
The Art of Public Speaking (Excerpt #1)
By J. Berg Esenwein and Dale Carnegie (1915)
From Chapter I: ACQUIRING CONFIDENCE BEFORE AN AUDIENCE
Students of public speaking continually ask, "How can I overcome self-consciousness and the fear that paralyzes me before an audience?"
Did you ever notice in looking from a train window that some horses feed near the track and never even pause to look up at the thundering cars, while just ahead at the next railroad crossing a farmer's wife will be nervously trying to quiet her scared horse as the train goes by? How would you cure a horse that is afraid of cars- -graze him in a back-woods lot where he would never see steam-engines or automobiles, or drive or pasture him where he would frequently see the machines? Apply horse-sense to ridding yourself of self-consciousness and fear: face an audience as frequently as you can, and you will soon stop shying.
You can never attain freedom from stage-fright by reading a treatise. A book may give you excellent suggestions on how best to conduct yourself in the water, but sooner or later you must | get wet, perhaps even strangle and be "half scared to death.
There are a great many "wetless" bathing suits worn at the seashore, but no one ever learns to swim in them. To plunge is the only way. Practise, practise, PRACTISE in speaking before an audience will tend to remove all fear of audiences, just as practise in swimming will lead to
confidence and facility in the water. [Note: British English spelling of practice = practise.] You
must learn to speak by speaking... Instead of fearing it, you ought to be as anxious as the fox hounds straining at their leashes, or the race horses tugging at their reins.

To answer the first question, "Which of these sayings is also an inference that is supported by information in the text?" you need to look for a saying or statement that can be inferred or deduced from the information provided in the text. Let's analyze the options:
1. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." This saying is not supported by the information in the text about horses and fear of cars.
2. "Pain is weakness leaving the body." This saying is not mentioned or related to the topic of overcoming self-consciousness and fear before an audience.
3. "Just do it and push through the fear." This saying is not directly mentioned in the text, so it is not an inference that is supported by the information given.
4. "Speak from the heart." This saying aligns with the author's advice to face an audience as frequently as you can and gain confidence through practice, which is mentioned in the text. Therefore, "Speak from the heart" is the correct answer as it is an inference supported by information in the text.
For the second question, "How does the author make a connection between horses and swimming in the text?" you need to identify the author's comparison or analogy between horses and swimming. Let's examine the options:
a. The author implies that horses are afraid to swim even though they know perfectly well how to swim, and that people are afraid to speak even though they know how to speak. This option does not accurately represent the author's connection between horses and swimming described in the text.
b. The author implies that if you want to make a horse swim, you must get on its back and steer it into the water, even if you're both scared to death. This option does not reflect the author's analogy between horses and swimming mentioned in the text.
c. The author describes applying "horse-sense to everything you do, including swimming at the seashore." This option accurately represents the author's connection between horses and swimming. The author advises applying the same common sense approach (horse-sense) to rid oneself of self-consciousness and fear before an audience, just as one would apply common sense to learning how to swim.
d. The author describes dealing with shy horses and learning to swim to develop the idea that you should face an audience as much as you can. This option accurately summarizes the author's analogy between horses and swimming. By describing the methods to overcome a horse's fear of cars and comparing it to facing an audience frequently, the author suggests that practice and exposure are essential to gaining confidence in public speaking.
For the third question, "When dealing with test anxiety, what should you do?" you need to select all the options that apply based on the information provided. Let's analyze the options:
a. Breathe deeply and write down your fears for a minute. Get those thoughts out of your head so you can free up your brain! This option is not mentioned in the text, so it is not supported by the information given.
b. Analyze your past mistakes when testing so that you can learn from them. This option aligns with the general advice of learning from past mistakes, which can help with test preparation and performance. It is supported by the idea of "Prepare for the test" mentioned in the text.
c. Prepare for the test. The good news is that we have been doing that all year!! This option is explicitly mentioned in the text as good advice for dealing with test anxiety.
d. Practice for the test! Make sure you understand what the test will be like, like the online test and study guides (including the progress monitoring work we assigned). This option is also explicitly mentioned in the text as a recommended action for dealing with test anxiety.
e. Don't make this test so big in your brain! Tests do not determine your future and should be viewed as a learning opportunity, an opportunity to show what you know. This option aligns with the perspective provided in the text, emphasizing that tests should not be viewed as something overwhelming or defining and encouraging a positive mindset towards tests.
Therefore, options b, c, d, and e are the correct answers as they are supported by the information provided in the text.
