Answer: B. Keep your notes concise and specific.

Explanation: When making a presentation, usually it is useful to make notes that help us remember the most important points, or the subjects that we want to address while speaking. In order to the notes to be effective, they have to be concise and specific, because if we write everything that we are going to say, it will be difficult to follow the notes, and they won't serve their purpose.

B. Keep your notes concise and specific.

When preparing for a presentation, one of the things you would probably first do is write it out in its entirety.  Next, you would review the presentation and try to commit as much to memory as possible.  While preparing to speak, you would definitely want to have some notes with your key points.  You should have your points concise and specific where you have just enough information to jog your memory.  Having too much information may cause you to slip into reading the notes and/or get you confused and cause a delay in time if you need to peruse for too lengthy amount of time.
