When do visual aids NOT enhance a presentation:

When they are distracting.
When they show a point made during the presentation in greater detail.
When they enhance a concept discussed.
When they are appealing to the audience.

The correct answer is: When they are distracting.

Visual aids play a crucial role in enhancing a presentation by supporting the speaker's message and engaging the audience. However, their effectiveness can be compromised if they are distracting. When visual aids take attention away from the speaker or the main points being conveyed, they hinder communication rather than facilitate it. Disturbances could stem from overly complex designs, excessive text, or irrelevant visuals that detract from the core message. In contrast, well-designed visual aids effectively complement the speaker's points and help clarify and illustrate concepts, making them more memorable. They can provide additional detail, engage the audience visually, and serve as a reference that enhances understanding. Therefore, the key is to ensure that visual aids are purposeful, clear, and supportive of the spoken content.
