Question
The senior students presented their class report more confidently than the junior students. Give reasons.
Solution
Being the youngest, the students of the junior class were shy and frightened while presenting the report. Their reports were short as they were relatively new to the concept of seeking information for themselves and the difficulties involved with it. The senior students, on the other hand, were better at expressing themselves than the junior students. They had a better understanding of the reports and its relationship to them. This helped the senior students to present the class report more confidently than the junior students.
