Question

The author said, “Musicians rehearse before their concerts. Actors rehearse their roles before the opening of a new play. On the other hand, I find it strange that many public speakers think they can just walk on to the stage and start speaking. In my opinion, it is no less important for public speakers to rehearse their talks.” Based on the above passage, which one of the following is TRUE ?

Correct answer (A) The author is of the opinion that rehearsing is important for musicians, actors and public speakers. Solution The author states that it is "no less important" for public speakers to rehearse their talks compared to musicians and actors. This implies that rehearsal is equally important for all three groups mentioned. Therefore, option (A) is the correct inference. Turn this into a strength.
