Basic Computer: MS Word Interface & Editing MCQ — 15 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.
