Question 1

To select more than one object at a time on a slide, which key do you press while you click the objects?
A) ALT
B) CTRL
C) SHIFT
D) TAB

Accepted Answer

When you press and hold the SHIFT key while clicking on objects, you can select multiple objects at once. This is the shortcut for selecting non-contiguous objects. Holding the CTRL key while clicking objects allows you to select or deselect objects individually. Holding the ALT key while clicking objects is used for accessing keyboard shortcuts for specific objects. TAB is not used for selecting objects on a slide.

Question 2

A) Rotate Right 90°
B) Rotate Left 90°
C) Flip Horizontal
D) Flip Vertical

Accepted Answer

Flip Horizontal will create a mirror image of the shape to the left or right of the original shape. This command flips the shape horizontally along its vertical axis, which creates a mirror image effect.

Question 3

A) Ruler
B) Guides

A) Bind
B) Form
C) Group
D) Connect

Accepted Answer

The command to combine three or more shapes into one group in PowerPoint is the Group command. This allows the shapes to be resized or moved together as if they were one object. The Bind command is not a valid command in PowerPoint, the Form command is used to create or edit forms and surveys, and the Connect command is used to link shapes or objects with lines or arrows.

Question 6

One of the slides in Noah's presentation contains a SmartArt graphic that contains text in a circular shape.Noah wants to change the graphic so that it looks more like a list than a circle.Which of the following actions should he take?
A) Apply a SmartArt style.
B) Replace the SmartArt graphic with a bulleted list.
C) Change the SmartArt layout.
D) Resize the SmartArt graphic proportionally.

Accepted Answer

Changing the SmartArt layout is the best choice to change the graphic from circular shape to a list. The SmartArt layout determines the arrangement of the text and can be changed to better suit the desired format. Applying a SmartArt style or resizing the graphic would not change the circular shape, and replacing the SmartArt graphic with a bulleted list would require manually copying and pasting the text, which may be time-consuming.

Question 7

Trey wants to insert three identical triangles on a slide.Which of the following methods is the best way to do this?
A) He should draw and format the first shape, and then very carefully draw the other two shapes.

C) After drawing and formatting the first shape, he should copy it to the Clipboard, and then use the Paste command twice.
D) He should draw and format the first shape, and then use the Flip command twice.

Accepted Answer

Copying and pasting the first shape is the quickest and most accurate method to ensure that all three triangles are identical.

Question 8

A) Change the direction using the Effect Options button.
B) Reapply the transition.
C) Drag the transition on the slide.
D) Move the pointer on the slide in the direction you want the transition to move.

Accepted Answer

To change the direction of a transition, you can use the Effect Options button. This option allows you to customize the specific settings for the transition you are using, including direction, duration, and sound. Simply click on the Effect Options button and select the desired direction for your transition. This is the most efficient way to change the direction of a transition without having to reapply or adjust the transition manually.

Question 9

Lab accidentally deleted a shape from a SmartArt graphic.Which of the following commands will put the shape back on his slide?
A) Redo
B) Undo
C) Exit
D) Reverse

Accepted Answer

Question 10

After you right-click a slide in the thumbnails pane in Normal view or in Slide Sorter view to open a shortcut menu, which of the following commands do you click to create a copy of the slide?
A) Exact Copy
B) Copy Slide
C) Duplicate Slide
D) Mimic Slide

Accepted Answer

The command to create a copy of a slide in PowerPoint is "Duplicate Slide". This command will create an exact copy of the slide, including all the content, formatting, and animations. The other options listed, such as "Exact Copy" or "Mimic Slide", are not actual commands in PowerPoint and do not exist in the shortcut menu. "Copy Slide" is a similar option, but it is used when you want to copy a slide to a different presentation, rather than creating a duplicate within the same presentation.

Question 11

Claudia added an equilateral triangle shape that is one inch high and one inch wide to a slide in her presentation.She clicked in the Shape Height box, typed 3, and then pressed ENTER.What happened to the shape?
A) The height of the triangle changed to three inches, but the width remained one inch.
B) The height and width of the triangle both changed to three inches to maintain the proportions.
C) The size of the triangle did not change because the aspect ratio is locked.
D) The triangle changed to an isosceles triangle that is three inches high.

Accepted Answer

When Claudia typed 3 in the Shape Height box and pressed ENTER, only the height of the triangle changed to three inches, but the width remained one inch. Since an equilateral triangle has equal sides, changing the height automatically changes the length of the sides to maintain the shape's proportions. Therefore, the triangle is now taller but still maintains its equilateral shape.

Question 12

If you want a specific date to appear every time you open a presentation rather than updating to the current date, which of the following options do you need to select when you add the date to the slides?
A) Keep
B) Fixed
C) Today
D) Update automatically

Accepted Answer

Choosing "Fixed" will ensure that the specific date selected will appear every time the presentation is opened, rather than updating to the current date.

Question 13

Which of the following do you change if you want to change the speed of a transition?
A) After setting
B) Before setting
C) Switch
D) Duration

Accepted Answer

The speed of a transition is determined by its duration. A longer duration means a slower transition, while a shorter duration means a faster transition. Therefore, if you want to change the speed of a transition, you need to change its duration.

A) Shape Effects
B) Shape Outline
C) Shape Fill
D) Shape Style

Accepted Answer

The Shape Effects button allows you to apply various effects to a shape, such as a beveled edge, a shadow or a glow. The Shape Outline button allows you to change the color, weight, and style of a shape's outline. The Shape Fill button allows you to change the color or texture of a shape's fill. The Shape Style button allows you to change the overall appearance of a shape, including its fill color, outline, and effects. Therefore, the best choice for applying a special effect to a shape would be the Shape Effects button.
