Question 3

Case 7-2
Lynda, the administrative assistant to the sales director, has just received a new slide show from the marketing department. Her boss is taking the slide show to an industry conference and plans to have it run unattended in the company's kiosk in the exhibit hall. Lynda sends you an e-mail asking for help preparing for a self-running presentation.
-Lynda first wants to know what feature to use to determine the length of time each slide should be displayed. You advise her to use the ____.
A) self-running feature
B) Format Painter feature
C) rehearsal feature
D) Background removal feature

Accepted Answer

The rehearsal feature allows the presenter to time each slide and determine the appropriate length of display time. This ensures that the self-running presentation runs smoothly and effectively conveys the intended message. The self-running and format painter features are not relevant to determining the display time of each slide, and the background removal feature is unrelated to the overall preparation of a presentation.

Question 4

Case 7-1
Tim is working on an important presentation for the annual directors' dinner. He has a few pictures taken at last year's dinner that he would like to edit and then integrate into his accompanying slide show, but he has no experience editing pictures.
-Tim asks you how to remove the background from one of the pictures he inserted on a slide. You tell Tim to ____.
A) send the picture out to a professional to remove the background and then reinsert the picture; it is too difficult to do in PowerPoint
B) select the picture, click the Remove Background button (PICTURE TOOLS FORMAT tab | Adjust group), drag handles on background removal lines to position the part of the picture to be retained within the marquee, tap or click the Keep Changes button (BACKGROUND REMOVAL tab | Close group) to discard the unwanted picture background
C) select the picture, click the Keep Foreground button (PICTURE TOOLS FORMAT tab | Adjust group), drag handles on foreground retention lines to position the part of the picture to be retained within the marquee, click the Keep All Changes button (FOREGROUND tab | Refine group) to keep the wanted picture foreground
D) select the picture, click the Adjust Background button (PICTURE TOOLS FORMAT tab | Adjust group), drag handles on background removal lines to position the part of the picture to be removed within the marquee, tap or click the Discard All Changes button (BACKGROUND EDITING tab | Close group) to discard the unwanted picture background

Accepted Answer

Option B is the correct sequence of steps to remove the background from a picture in PowerPoint. It is a simple process that can be done within PowerPoint without the need for a professional. Option A suggests outsourcing the task, which may be time-consuming and may not be necessary. Options C and D suggest keeping the foreground or adjusting the background, respectively, which is not what Tim is trying to do.

Question 5

Do not use animation merely for the sake of using it.

Accepted Answer

Animation should have a purpose and meaning behind it, rather than just being used for decorative purposes.

Question 6

Case 7-1
Tim is working on an important presentation for the annual directors' dinner. He has a few pictures taken at last year's dinner that he would like to edit and then integrate into his accompanying slide show, but he has no experience editing pictures.
-Next Tim wants to use only a small portion of one of the pictures on a slide. You tell Tim to ____.
A) select the picture, click the Trim button, and drag the corner, top, bottom, left, or right trimming handles to specify the portions of the picture to be eliminated
B) select the picture, click the Compress button, and key in the percentage of the picture to be eliminated
C) manually trim the picture with scissors and then scan it onto a slide
D) select the picture, click the Crop button, and drag the corner, top, bottom, left, or right cropping handles inward to eliminate the unwanted portions of the picture

Accepted Answer

The best choice is to select the picture and click the Crop button, which will allow Tim to drag the cropping handles inward to eliminate the unwanted portions of the picture. This is a much easier and more precise method than manually trimming with scissors or using the compress button, which may distort the image. Additionally, the trim button is not the best choice because it only hides the unwanted portions of the picture, rather than actually deleting them.

Question 7

You can undo an area you marked with a line by pressing CTRL+Y .

Accepted Answer

Pressing CTRL+Y is the shortcut for redo, not undo. To undo a marked area with a line, you would press CTRL+Z.

Question 8

Case 7-2
Lynda, the administrative assistant to the sales director, has just received a new slide show from the marketing department. Her boss is taking the slide show to an industry conference and plans to have it run unattended in the company's kiosk in the exhibit hall. Lynda sends you an e-mail asking for help preparing for a self-running presentation.
-Lynda also wants to know how to set up the slide show to run unattended in a continuous loop throughout the day. You tell Lynda to ____.
A) click the Set Up Slide Show button (SLIDE SHOW tab | Set Up group) to open the Set Up Show dialog box; click the 'Browsed at kiosk (full screen)' option and click OK
B) click the Run in Kiosk button (SLIDE SHOW tab | Set Up group) to open the Set Up Show dialog box; click the 'Browsed at kiosk (full screen)' option and click OK
C) click the Set Up Slide Show button (SLIDE SHOW tab | Run Show group) to open the Slide Show dialog box; click the 'Browsed at kiosk (full screen)' option and click OK
D) click the Run Show button (SLIDE SHOW tab | Options group) to open the Run Show dialog box; click the 'Browsed at kiosk (full screen)' option and click OK

Accepted Answer

Option A is the correct choice as it instructs Lynda to click the Set Up Slide Show button and select the 'Browsed at kiosk (full screen)' option, which is the appropriate setting for running a self-running presentation continuously in a kiosk or exhibit. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they either refer to the wrong button or the wrong dialog box, or provide incorrect instructions.

Question 9

You can continue to adjust motion path starting and stopping points to get the exact effect you want.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. You can adjust the motion path starting and stopping points to achieve your desired effect.

Question 10

Using the Animation painter takes up extra time.

Accepted Answer

The Animation Painter in PowerPoint allows you to quickly copy animation effects from one object to another, saving time compared to manually applying animations to each object.

Question 11

After applying a motion path to a selected text, the green triangle indicates the starting point and the red triangle indicates the stopping point.

Accepted Answer

This is correct. The green triangle represents the starting point of the motion path and the red triangle represents the stopping point.

Question 12

When you click the Cut command, PowerPoint isolates a picture's foreground from its background.

Accepted Answer

The Cut command in PowerPoint removes the selected element from the slide and places it on the clipboard; it does not isolate a picture's foreground from its background.

Question 13

To move a dialog box, such as the Change Entrance Effect dialog box, you can drag its title bar.

Accepted Answer

You can move a dialog box by dragging its title bar.

Question 14

You can increase a file compression and, in turn, increase the file size if you instruct PowerPoint to compress a photo you have cropped.

Accepted Answer

Cropping a photo in PowerPoint and then compressing it typically reduces the file size because the cropped areas are removed and not stored, and compression further reduces the file size by lowering the image quality.

Question 15

One of the most effective methods of animating slide objects is to use an emphasis effect to predetermine the route the object will follow on the slide.

Accepted Answer

An emphasis effect in animation does not predetermine the route an object will follow on the slide; it is used to draw attention to an object without moving it. To predetermine the route an object will follow, a motion path effect is used.
