MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
45 sec • 1 pt
1During the speech competition, you are evaluating a participant whose speech is exceptionally well-organized and intellectually stimulating. The speaker presents a clear thesis, provides strong supporting evidence, and draws a meaningful conclusion. However, throughout the delivery, they frequently hesitate, restart sentences, and rely heavily on filler words such as “uh,” “like,” and “you know.” This disrupts the overall fluency and rhythm of their speech, though the message remains intact. As an adjudicator, how should you assess their performance in a balanced and fair manner?
Assign the speaker the highest marks in all categories, focusing solely on content.
Penalize the speaker significantly across all categories to reflect poor performance.
Acknowledge the quality of the content with high marks, but apply moderate deductions in the delivery and language components to reflect the fluency issues.
Ignore delivery flaws, as content is the most critical element in speech adjudication.
Disqualify the speaker for failing to meet the fluency standard of the competition.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

A contestant's speech contains several factual inaccuracies about a subject you know well. The speech is otherwise well-delivered with good structure and engaging presentation.

Interrupt the speech to correct the factual errors
Significantly penalize the contestant for spreading misinformation

Score the speeches but document the similarity and report to the chief adjudicator for investigation
