Read the myth below and answer the question that follows. "The Sea-Monster" translated by Thomas Bulfinch Perseus, continuing his flight, arrived at the country of the Aethiopians, of which Cepheus was king. Cassiopeia his queen, proud of her beauty, had dared to compare herself to the Sea-Nymphs, which roused their indignation to such a degree that they sent a prodigious sea-monster to ravage the coast. To appease the deities, Cepheus was directed by the oracle to expose his daughter Andromeda to be devoured by the monster. As Perseus looked down from his aerial height he beheld the virgin chained to a rock, and waiting the approach of the serpent. She was so pale and motionless that if it had not been for her flowing tears and her hair that moved in the breeze, he would have taken her for a marble statue. He was so startled at the sight that he almost forgot to wave his wings. As he hovered over her he said, "O virgin, undeserving of those chains, but rather of such as bind fond lovers together, tell me, I beseech you, your name, and the name of your country, and why you are thus bound." At first she was silent from modesty, and, if she could, would have hid her face with her hands; but when he repeated his questions, for fear she might be thought guilty of some fault which she dared not tell, she disclosed her name and that of her country, and her mother's pride of beauty. Before she had done speaking, a sound was heard off upon the water, and the sea-monster appeared, with his head raised above the surface, cleaving the waves with his broad breast. The virgin shrieked, the father and mother who had now arrived at the scene, wretched both, but the mother more justly so, stood by, not able to afford protection, but only to pour forth lamentations and to embrace the victim. Then spoke Perseus: "There will be time enough for tears; this hour is all we have for rescue. My rank as the son of Jove and my renown as the slayer of the Gorgon might make me acceptable as a suitor; but I will try to win her by services rendered, if the gods will only be propitious. If she be rescued by my valor, I demand that she be my reward." The parents' consent (how could they hesitate?) and promise a royal dowry with her. And now the monster was within the range of a stone thrown by a skillful slinger, when with a sudden bound the youth soared into the air. As an eagle, when from his lofty flight he sees a serpent basking in the sun, pounces upon him and seizes him by the neck to prevent him from turning his head round and using his fangs, so the youth darted down upon the back of the monster and plunged his sword into its shoulder. Irritated by the wound, the monster raised himself in the air, then plunged into the depth; then, like a wild boar surrounded, by a pack of barking dogs, turned swiftly from side to side, while the youth eluded its attacks by means of his wings. Wherever he can find a passage for his sword between the scales he makes a wound, piercing now the side, now the flank, as it slopes towards the tail. The brute spouts from his nostrils water mixed with blood. The wings of the hero are wet with it, and he dares no longer trust to them. Alighting on a rock which rose above the waves, and holding on by a projecting fragment, as the monster floated near he gave him a death stroke. The people who had gathered on the shore shouted so that the hills reechoed the sound. The parents, transported with joy, embraced their future son-in-law, calling him their deliverer and the savior of their house, and the virgin both cause and reward of the contest, descended from the rock.

The meteor that would actually reach surface at first would be the meteor coming to Earth's surface because scientifically Earth has a greater gravity force than Moon as it is a bigger celestial body between these two, so Earth's gravity would increase the speed at which the meteor comes, attracting it faster like a magnet compared to as Moon's would.

Both the little meteor traveling toward the surface of the moon and the one traveling toward the surface of the Earth have a chance to touch these bodies.

However, the influences of the various atmospheres play a significant role in how well this voyage goes. The atmosphere of the Earth is thick. A meteor shower is a phenomenon where little meteors burn up before they reach the surface due to friction created by this environment.

On the other hand, the moon hardly has any atmosphere to cause this friction, therefore a little meteor would probably arrive at the moon's surface whole. The meteor traveling towards the moon would therefore nearly certainly reach the surface in this case, whereas the meteor traveling toward the Earth may not.

As the question does not have any context, It is understood that Diane is any person who is going to do a presentation to the public.

Among the given options the most siutable answer for that question is C. Speaking clearly while making her presentation because this will allow her to explain the topic in a clear way, and the public will understand her explanation, or at least they will have doubts to clarify, but her presentation can be fluent and understandable.

Let's analyze the rest of the options:

A. If she looks at a person with whom she is comfortable while making her presentation, the public can feel bored and ignored.

B. If she reads her notes frequently, the public is going to notice that she is not prepared enough to do the presentation.

D. This is similar to the point B, so taking a friend along to prompt her in case she forgets what she has to say will interrupt her presentation, and the public can think that she is not prepared to do the presentation, and the presentations is not going to have the impact that perhaps she wants to.

E. Momorizing every single word can be counterproductive since if she forgets any word, she is going to hesitate, and will show that she does not have the appropriation of the topic.

Diane can significantly improve her presentation skills by speaking clearly, maintaining eye contact with the audience, and preparing sufficiently so that she can present confidently with only occasional references to brief notes.

Improving presentation skills requires practice and effective techniques. Diane can improve her presentation skills in several ways, as suggested in the question.

Firstly, speaking clearly (option C) is a fundamental requirement in any presentation. This includes using a loud and distinct voice, and making sure both tone and pace are appropriate for the audience and the subject of the presentation.

Secondly, rather than looking at only one person whom she is comfortable with (option A), Diane should try to engage with the entire audience by making eye contact with various attendees throughout the presentation. This signifies to the audience that she is confident and interested in their response.

Finally, rather than referring frequently to her notes (option B) or relying on a friend (option D), Diane should aim for a balance where she is familiar enough with her material that she can present confidently, but also has brief notes for guidance. Memorizing every single word (option E) is not advisable as it can lead to a robotic delivery and can cause panic if forgotten.
