Practice Questions

Q1. Which of the following statements about tables in MS Word is incorrect?

A A table is made up of rows and columns.
B Cells in a Word table can contain text, numbers or pictures.
C Once inserted, a Word table cannot be resized. Correct
D Cells in a Word table can be merged to make a larger cell.

Explanation

The question asks for the incorrect statement. In MS Word, a table is built from rows, columns and cells. Cells can contain text, numbers and even pictures, and users can merge cells when a heading or larger area is needed. A table can also be resized after insertion by changing row height, column width or table size. Therefore, the statement that a Word table cannot be resized once inserted is false, making option C the correct answer.

Q2. In an MS Word table, what is the box formed at the intersection of one row and one column called?

A Header
B Cell Correct
C Margin
D Footer

Explanation

The stem asks about the small box created where a row and a column meet in a Word table. That box is called a cell. A table is made up of rows running across and columns running down; every crossing point creates one cell for entering text, numbers or objects. Header and footer are page areas, while margin is blank space around the page. Hence, the correct term for the row-column intersection is Cell.

Q3. Consider the following statements about breaks in MS Word. Statement 1: A Page Break moves the following text to the start of the next page. Statement 2: A Section Break is used when different parts of the same document need different page formatting, such as different margins or orientation. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

A Statement 1 only
B Statement 2 only
C Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 Correct
D Neither Statement 1 nor Statement 2

Explanation

A Page Break is a simple layout control: it sends the following content to the top of the next page without changing the document's formatting rules. A Section Break is stronger because it divides the document into sections. Different sections can then have different margins, orientation, headers, footers or columns. The stem correctly states both functions. Therefore both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct.

Q4. Read the Assertion and Reason about Find and Replace in MS Word. Assertion (A): Pressing Ctrl+H opens the Replace tab in the Find and Replace dialog box. Reason (R): The Replace feature can search for specific text and replace it with different text throughout the document. Choose the correct answer.

A Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A. Correct
B Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
C A is true, but R is false.
D A is false, but R is true.

Explanation

Ctrl+H is the standard MS Word shortcut for opening the Replace tab in the Find and Replace dialog box. This makes the assertion true. The reason is also true because Replace is meant to find a specified word, phrase or character pattern and substitute another text in its place. The reason directly explains the purpose of the shortcut mentioned in the assertion: Ctrl+H takes the user to the feature used for replacing text. Therefore, both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.

Q5. Consider the following statements about breaks in MS Word. Statement 1: A page break starts the following text on a new page without changing page formatting for different parts of the document. Statement 2: A section break can allow different margins, orientation or headers in different parts of the same document. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

A Statement 1 only
B Statement 2 only
C Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 Correct
D Neither Statement 1 nor Statement 2

Explanation

A page break is used when the next text should begin on a fresh page, but it does not by itself create a separately formatted part of the document. A section break is more powerful: it divides the document into sections, so different sections can use different margins, orientation, headers, footers or columns. The stem clearly contrasts simple page movement with separate page formatting. Since both statements describe these functions correctly, the answer is both Statement 1 and Statement 2.
