Good at choosing context(S) / content(S)

Question

Hi, Question:    Should I say “context, contexts, content, or contents” ?Sentence:    I was good at choosing context(S) / content(S).    Therefore, I obtained a high mark for my presentation.What I did?:  There were 20 relevent theories, I choosed 5 theories which were understandable for the people who attended my presentation.  There was a time limit of 5 mins.  Because I choosed suitable amount of theories, I could complete my presentation within 5 mins.    Thanks

Based on your explanation, I'd say "content" is the best choice among those you offer.

You limited the content of your presentation to 5 theories which could be easiily understood.

The idea of choosing context presumes that the "theories" had already been choosen, and you were then good at choosing examples to illustrate those theories. This is a different scenario.

It would be fair to say that "context" is included in the content of your presentation.
The content is actually everything, including the context.

But I believe you wish to stress that you were good at choosing the subject matter of your presentation, not the "illustrations."

Of course you could take a different approach.
You say there were 20 relevant theories. Relevant to what? What is the common bond between these theories?
It could be argued that the common bond, which you have failed to mention, is the true subject of your presentation, and that you have chosen the "five" as context to illustrate that "true subject."

It's not really a clear-cut case.
