Question

Creating and rehearsing a presentation typically takes much longer than the duration of the speech itself. A common guideline suggests spending about 1 to 2 hours per minute of speaking time for preparation and rehearsal. For an eight-minute speech, this would translate to 8 to 16 hours of preparation. However, since the question specifies the creation and rehearsal with presentation slides, which can streamline some of the preparation process, the time might be slightly less. Therefore, option D (4.5 to 6+ hours) is a reasonable estimate, considering it might take at least 30 minutes to an hour to design each slide and additional time for rehearsal.
