Being prepared for questions involves setting rules for asking questions, addressing questions as they arise during the presentation, and taking questions at the end of the presentation. 4. Repeating questions helps in better understanding, shows attention, allows the audience to hear the question, and provides extra time to formulate a response. 5. Handling different types of questions includes those you expect and can answer, those you expect but find difficult to answer, and those you wouldn't want someone to ask and would find very difficult to answer.
