Which of the following best illustrates how public speaking skills can improve your career opportunities? a. you are given an assignment to present your science project to the entire class, and the teacher is so impressed with your presentation that you receive extra credit. b. rather than get into a heated argument with your parents, you are able to calmly and rationally explain to them why you feel your curfew should be more flexible. c. you present yourself very well during a job interview and the employer offers you an entry level position with the company. d. none of the above.

The correct answer is c. You present yourself very well during a job interview and the employer offers you an entry level position with the company

The other options are not related in any way to your career opportunities since parents' curfew and a science project in school have nothing to do with your career. C on the other hands shows an option that is about using your presentation and speaking skills to improve your career progress. It's a common thing in HR interviews.

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
