What type of visual aid is showing the actual thing being discussed?


A. Photograph


B. Graph


C. Object


D. Videotape

C is correct. A photo or a video tape is a representation of the object, not the object itself. All four are very useful, however, in that sometimes there is no object to represent an idea.

Well, obviously...

What is YOUR choice?

sorry c

And do keep in mind that if, for example, you are demonstrating how to husk corn to a large auditorium or lecture hall, a video on a large screen might be more effective than a small ear of corn in your hand when the people in the back of the room might need binoculars to see what you're doing.

The correct answer is C. Object. An object is a type of visual aid that involves actually showing the physical thing being discussed. This can be a real object or a replica of the object. To determine the correct answer, we can eliminate the other options by understanding their definitions:

- A photograph (option A) is a visual representation of something captured by a camera. While a photograph can be a form of visual aid, it is not necessarily showing the actual thing being discussed, as it is just a picture of it.

- A graph (option B) is a visual representation of data or numerical relationships. While it can be a helpful visual aid, it is not directly showing the actual thing being discussed, but rather summarizing and organizing data in a graphical format.

- A videotape (option D) is a recording of moving images and sounds. While it can be used as a visual aid, it is not necessarily showing the actual thing being discussed, as it would depend on the content of the videotape. It could show footage of the actual thing or be a recorded demonstration of it, but it is not a visual aid that specifically involves the physical presence of the thing itself.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Object, as it directly involves showing the actual thing being discussed.
