Question 1

A) edge of the page
B) section
C) margin
D) document end

Accepted Answer

Aligning a graphic relative to the margin ensures that it stays within the page margins and doesn't accidentally bleed out of the printable area.

Question 2

Now Emily is looking for a compressed file format that is suitable for most types of simple line art, but that has the capacity for some complicated colors. What is the most likely format for the file she will use?
A) P N G
B) TIFF
C) GIF
D) J P E G

Accepted Answer

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a compressed file format that supports a wide range of colors and has the ability to handle complex line art. Additionally, it supports transparency and is a lossless compression format, meaning that image quality is not compromised during compression. TIFF is a good option for high-quality printing, but it is not as widely supported as PNG. GIF is limited to a maximum of 256 colors, making it unsuitable for complicated coloring. JPEG is a lossy compression format, meaning that image quality is compromised during compression.

Question 3

When _______ WordArt, you need to consider both the font size of the text and the size of the text box that contains WordArt.
A) resizing
B) rotating
C) moving
D) adjusting

Accepted Answer

Resizing WordArt can affect both the font size and the size of the text box. Rotating and moving WordArt will not necessarily change the size of the text box, and adjusting is too vague to be the best choice.

Question 4

A _______ file is a type of vector graphics file created specifically for Windows.
A) .bmp
B) .wmf
C) .jpg
D) .png

Accepted Answer

WMF stands for Windows Metafile, which is a vector graphics file format created specifically for Windows. It can be resized without losing quality and supports a wide range of colors. BMP, JPG, and PNG are also raster file formats commonly used on Windows, but they do not have the same vector capabilities as WMF.

Question 5

For another self-mailer she is producing, Emily needs a photograph. Which of the following is the most likely format for the file she will use?
A) GIF
B) JPEG
C) P N G
D) WMF

Accepted Answer

JPEG files are the most commonly used format for photographic images, as they can compress a lot of detail into a relatively small file size without losing too much quality. GIF and PNG formats are better for graphics and illustrations, while WMF files are mainly used for vector-based images.

Question 6

Case-Based Critical Thinking Questions Case 4-1
Santo is creating a company newsletter for his architectural firm. He has solicited contributions from his colleagues on their current projects, and several people have provided photos of homes and businesses they are currently remodeling. Santo is about to begin compiling all the information using desktop publishing in Microsoft Word.
When Santo is formatting the text in his WordArt text box, he discovers that by default the text box is formatted with _______ text wrapping.
A) Tight
B) Behind Text
C) Through
D) Top and Bottom

Accepted Answer

The default text wrapping for a WordArt text box in Microsoft Word is Tight, which means that the text will wrap tightly around the shape of the text box.

Question 7

The _______ file format is similar to GIF files, but suitable for art containing a wider array of colors.
A) P N G
B) B M P
C) J P E G
D) TIFF

Accepted Answer

PNG files are similar to GIF files in that they use lossless compression, but they are capable of displaying a wider range of color palettes, making them suitable for art with a greater number of colors. BMP files, while capable of displaying a wide array of colors, use uncompressed raster graphics and therefore have larger file sizes than PNG files. JPEG files use lossy compression, which can lead to a loss of image quality, particularly in images with large areas of solid color. TIFF files are often used for high-quality printing and image-editing applications, but have larger file sizes than PNG files and can be more difficult to share online.

Question 9

_______ files are suitable for most types of simple line art, without complicated colors.
