YES THERE IS A RIGHT ANSWER FIND FOR ONE
I apologize for the confusion earlier. The correct answer to the question "How do great speeches usually begin?" is "none of the above options are correct". The beginnings of great speeches vary depending on the speaker, audience, and occasion. Some great speeches begin with a personal story, an anecdote, a powerful quote, or an attention-grabbing statement that is relevant to the topic of the speech.

Write 1-2 sentences describing what a collaborative discussion looks like and what happens when you share ideas in a collaborative discussion.
In a collaborative discussion, multiple individuals come together to find a solution to a common problem. During the discussion, each person shares their ideas, perspectives, and experiences to develop a consensus on the best path forward. This leads to a synergy of ideas and constructive feedback that ultimately results in a better solution than could have been achieved alone.

The correct answer is "so you can easily refer back to them". Keeping track of sources is important because it allows you to:
- Give credit to the original author for their work
- Avoid plagiarism
- Refer back to the sources for further research
- Verify the accuracy and credibility of your information
- Provide evidence to support your argument or answer.

an observation
The correct answer is "an observation". A comment made during a collaborative discussion is often referred to as an observation. This includes any statement or insight that is offered by a participant in the discussion, and is usually based on their own experiences, knowledge, or perspectives. These observations often contribute to a richer and more diverse discussion, and can help to generate new ideas and solutions to a problem.

This means actively listening to what others are saying, acknowledging the validity of their points, and avoiding interrupting or talking over others.

Jamal wants to make sure he clearly communicates his thoughts and opinions in his next collaborative discussion. What are some ways he can do this? Select two answers.(1 point)
He should pronounce his words clearly.
He should make eye contact with the audience.
He should stand up when he wants to talk.
He should only read directly from his notes.
He should raise his voice so he can be heard above everyone.
The correct answers are:
- He should pronounce his words clearly.
- He should make eye contact with the audience.
Pronouncing words clearly and making eye contact with the audience are both effective ways to clearly communicate thoughts and opinions during a collaborative discussion. Standing up when wanting to talk may also help to make a point, but it is not always necessary. Reading directly from notes risks coming across as less authentic or rehearsed, and raising one's voice is generally not an effective way to be heard in a collaborative discussion.
