Correct answer: stick

Explanation: The word 'stick' is used here to mean to adhere to or maintain a certain approach, which fits grammatically as it follows the modal 'want to' and aligns contextually with the idea of using images in a presentation. It conveys the intention to keep the presentation focused on visuals.

Meaning: 'Stick' means to adhere to something or to continue with a particular method or style, in this case, using images in the presentation.

Wrong options:

  • stand: 'Stand' implies a physical position or a stance, which does not fit the context of maintaining a style in a presentation.
  • stay: 'Stay' suggests remaining in a place or condition, but it lacks the active connotation of adhering to a specific method like 'stick' does.
  • stock: 'Stock' refers to a supply or inventory, which does not convey the intended meaning of maintaining a focus on images.
Correct answer: memorability

Explanation: The term 'memorability' refers to the quality of being memorable, which fits contextually as it describes the effectiveness of images in enhancing the audience's retention of the speaker's points. It is also grammatically correct as it serves as a noun complementing the verb 'increases.'

Meaning: 'Memorability' means the quality of being easy to remember, which is crucial for effective presentations.

Wrong options:

  • morality: 'Morality' pertains to principles of right and wrong behavior, which is unrelated to the context of enhancing memory in presentations.
  • mobilization: 'Mobilization' refers to the act of preparing or organizing for action, which does not fit the context of improving retention of information.
  • mobility: 'Mobility' relates to the ability to move freely and easily, which is not relevant to the concept of making points memorable.
Correct answer: support

Explanation: The word 'support' is appropriate here as it means to reinforce or back up the subject matter, fitting grammatically as it follows the verb 'use' and aligns contextually with the idea of images enhancing the presentation's content.

Meaning: 'Support' means to provide assistance or reinforcement, in this case, images that enhance the subject being discussed.

Wrong options:

  • suggest: 'Suggest' implies offering an idea or proposal, which does not convey the same sense of reinforcement as 'support.'
  • supply: 'Supply' refers to providing something, but it lacks the connotation of reinforcing the subject matter as 'support' does.
  • submit: 'Submit' means to present for consideration or approval, which does not fit the context of enhancing the subject matter.
Correct answer: regard

Explanation: The word 'regard' is used here to indicate consideration or attention towards visuals, fitting grammatically as it follows the phrase 'with' and aligns contextually with the idea of valuing visuals in presentations.

Meaning: 'Regard' means to consider or think of something in a particular way, in this case, the importance of visuals in presentations.

Wrong options:

  • result: 'Result' refers to an outcome or consequence, which does not fit the context of how speakers approach visuals.
  • retrospect: 'Retrospect' means looking back on past events, which does not convey the intended meaning of considering visuals in presentations.
  • request: 'Request' implies asking for something, which is unrelated to the context of valuing visuals.
