Question

Performers typically stand in the wings __________________ just prior to going on stage. This helps them to think more clearly and settle their nerves. a. breathing deeply b. thinking positively c. carefully preparing d. practicing frequently

Answer 1

As a performer myself the answer is A. because breathing deeply gives oxygen, this oxygen is used to give power to your brain and create adrenaline.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option a. "breathing deeply".

Step-by-step explanation:

Deep breathing is a good way of relaxing because it increases the supply of oxygen to the brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes a state of calmness. Deep breathing is useful to think clearly and settle the nerves on stressful situations such as a performer that is about to perform his act.
