When should you aim your immediate concerns of the listeners?

  1. During the break

  2. At the start of the session

  3. Your initial remarks

  4. The end of the session

The correct answer is: Your initial remarks

When giving a presentation or speech, it is important to establish a good connection with the listeners right from the start. Therefore, the best time to address their immediate concerns is during your initial remarks. This is when they are most attentive and receptive to what you have to say. Bringing up their concerns later on in the session may cause them to become disengaged or lose interest. Additionally, addressing their concerns during a break may seem disruptive and distract them from the main topic. Directly addressing their concerns at the start of the session shows that you are considerate and interested in their thoughts and opinions.
