b. 10 double-spaced pages an hour.
c. 2,000 words an hour.
d. one paragraph per minute.
Expert Answer
An average speaker speaks normally 125-150 words per minute.
It means A and C are not correct options.
Let’s talk about B
There is on average 250 words in a double-spaced pages so 10 pages =10*250=2500 words in an hour
So in a minute it will be 2500/60=42 words per minute.
In a paragraph there is generally 100-200 words
Hence option D is correct.
