Q1Consider the following statements about formatting tools in MS Word. Statement I: Format Painter copies the formatting of selected text and applies it to other text. Statement II: Clear All Formatting removes the selected text from the document. Which of the following is correct?
Format Painter is used when the appearance of one part of the document must be repeated elsewhere. It copies formatting such as font style, size, colour or paragraph formatting and applies that formatting to another selection. It does not copy the actual words as normal Copy does. Clear All Formatting works in the opposite sense for appearance: it removes applied formatting and returns the text towards the default style. It does not delete the selected text. Therefore, Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
Q2Match the MS Word editing shortcuts with their correct functions. List I: 1. Ctrl+C 2. Ctrl+V 3. Ctrl+X 4. Ctrl+Z List II: a. Cut the selected text b. Undo the last action c. Copy the selected text d. Paste copied or cut text Choose the correct match.
The correct matching is 1-c, 2-d, 3-a and 4-b. In MS Word, Ctrl+C copies the selected text without removing it. Ctrl+V pastes text that has been copied or cut. Ctrl+X cuts the selected text, which means it removes it from the present place and keeps it available for pasting. Ctrl+Z undoes the last action. The stem asks for editing shortcuts, so these four keys form the basic copy-paste-cut-undo set.
Q3Match List I with List II in the context of the MS Word interface. List I: I. Status bar II. Ruler III. Quick Access Toolbar IV. Insertion point List II: 1. Shows page and word-count information 2. Helps set margins, indents and tab stops 3. Provides one-click access to common commands such as Save and Undo 4. Blinking cursor where typed text will appear
In MS Word, each interface element has a distinct purpose. The status bar at the bottom commonly shows information such as page number and word count, so I matches 1. The ruler helps with margins, indents and tab stops, so II matches 2. The Quick Access Toolbar is meant for frequently used commands like Save and Undo, so III matches 3. The insertion point is the blinking cursor at which typed text appears, so IV matches 4. Hence the correct matching is I-1, II-2, III-3, IV-4.
Q4In Microsoft Word, which part of the interface contains tabs such as Home, Insert, Design and Layout, with related commands grouped below them?
The Ribbon is the main command area in modern Microsoft Word. The cue in the question is the presence of tabs such as Home, Insert, Design and Layout, with related commands arranged in groups below each tab. For example, the Home tab contains common editing and formatting groups such as Clipboard, Font and Paragraph. The status bar only reports document information, while the scroll bar and title bar have navigation or window-identification roles. Therefore, the described interface part is the Ribbon.
Q5You want to make selected text bold in an MS Word document by using a keyboard shortcut. Which shortcut should you press?
In MS Word, Ctrl+B is the standard shortcut for applying or removing bold formatting on selected text. The question specifically asks for making selected text bold, so the shortcut must relate to font formatting, not printing or another text style. Ctrl+I is for italic, Ctrl+U is for underline and Ctrl+P is for print. Since bold is represented by B in this common shortcut pattern, Ctrl+B is the correct answer.
