During the tour of the plant, you discover several claims in the speech are not true. What do you do?

1. Write and deliver a new speech that you know is entirely correct.
2. Cancel all speeches until you and your supervisor can get the information straight.
3. Deliver the speech as prepared and discuss the inaccuracies with your supervisor afterward.
4. Address the inaccuracies with your supervisor immediately and make the necessary corrections before giving the speech.
