a. breathe deeply & practice frequently
b. carefully prepare & visualize the outcome
c .breathe deeply & think positively
d. think positively & visualize the outcome

C

Explanation:

Apprehension is a feeling of nervousness or fear. Experiencing some apprehension about public speaking is normal. We can use some methods before the meeting to reduce anxiety such as preparing before speaking, organizing ideas, thinking about the audience, and practicing in situations similar to the target situation. But there are some strategies to use at the moment of starting speaking, for example deep breathing, positive thinking, having sense of humor, etc.  

Practice frequently, visualize the outcome, and carefully prepare are useful to use before the meeting, not at the moment of speaking. So, the only correct option is c, breathe deeply and think positively.  

glamis thou art, and cawdor; and shalt be what thou art promis'd; yet do i fear thy nature; it is too full o' the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great; art not without ambition; but without the illness should attend it. what thou wouldst highly, that wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, and yet wouldst wrongly win: thou'dst have, great glamis, that which cries, "thus thou must do, if thou have it: and that which rather thou dost fear to do than wishest should be undone." hie thee hither, that i may pour my spirits in thine ear; and chastise with the valor of my tongue all that impedes thee from the golden round, which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have thee crown'd withal.

he is hesitant.  

he lacks courage.  

he has moral scruples.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
