Read the narrative below and answer the question that follows:
a) “Ladies and g-g-g-gentlemen, thank you all for j-j-j-joining me today.” Mary buried her face in her hands. She had not asked for this. After her father passed away, she had inherited his automotive company. She was not in charge of a company that employed thousands and thousands of people. All of these people’s livelihoods now rested on her shoulders. All these people were counting on her to lead them, and she could not even provide them with a stutter free sentence.
b) She had one hour before she had to deliver the most important speech of her life. She was worried that if she messed this up, she would ruin the company. She had no idea how right she was. If this speech did not go well many of her employees would not respect her. She would be faced with many of the district managers feeling that they could do a better job than Mary and attempt to usurp power. This would lead to a decline in productivity, worker strikes, massive layoffs and the downfall of the company. She had to inspire her workers with this speech, or the company was doomed.
c) “Ladies and g-g-g-g-g-gentlemen....” Mary just wanted to cry. Her stutter always got worse when she was nervous. She never seemed to be able to control it without her dad’s help. She remembered when her dad would try to help her. Her favorite time was fifteen years ago around Christmas time. They were making Christmas cookies and she was having a hard time saying “jingle bells.” When she got frustrated her dad held her in his arms and had her sing “Jingle Bells.” She did not know why, but when the words were set to music she could do it.
d) Mary’s eyes grew wide. That was the answer: Music! She scrambled through her notes. It was not perfect, but she could set the speech to music in her head. She cleared her throat and bobbed her head like it was a metronome. She took a deep breath, smiled, and said “Ladies and gentleman, thank you for joining me here today.”
