When Melaina presented her speech about Colorado legalizing the recreational use

of marijuana, one of the points she made was how there had been an economic incentive
to do so.

While developing the point she cited statistics from the Colorado Department of
Revenue regarding how much the state had profited from medicinal marijuana in prior
years. When she presented specific information to that effect, she read word-for-word
from a note card that "medical marijuana generated nearly $50 million in taxes and fees
for the state in 2 ½ years." How will her audience likely react to her reading this
information to them? In other words, how will they likely perceive her behavior?
A) They will perceive that she is overly careful, ultimately diminishing her ethos.
B) They will perceive that she is concerned with accuracy and precision.
C) They will perceive that she has inadequately rehearsed her presentation.
D) They will perceive that she doubts the information and can't look them in the eye.
