Abby was giving a presentation to her peers in class. She started off by introducing her topic, and then she told the class everything she knew about that topic with little organization or structure. She offered no visuals. Although she spoke for the entire 20 minutes, her peers did not remember much of what she presented; therefore, they did not feel they learned much. She did not get a good peer review. Which strategy would seem to be the least helpful for Abby to improve her presentation skills?

B. Abby should have offered visuals to make her presentation more memorable for peers.
C. Abby should have asked her peers a question, or let them know why her topic was important for them to learn.
