Q1Which statement about review tools in MS Word is incorrect?
Track Changes records insertions, deletions and formatting changes until they are accepted or rejected; accepting a change makes it part of the document while rejecting removes it. A comment lets a reviewer ask a question or give a suggestion without itself changing the final text. Therefore the claim that a comment automatically changes the final text is incorrect and is the incorrect statement.
Q2In MS Word, which file format is the standard editable document that stores text, formatting and embedded objects without enabling macros by default?
A normal modern Word document is saved as .docx, which holds text, formatting and embedded objects and does not enable macros by default. The macro-enabled file is .docm, used only when macros are intentionally switched on, because macros can automate work but may carry a security risk. PDF is for sharing or printing with a fixed appearance, not for easy editing, and .pptx belongs to PowerPoint. So the standard editable Word file is .docx.
Q3Assertion (A): Editing the Slide Master is useful when the same font, colour, logo placement or footer must be applied across many PowerPoint slides. Reason (R): Slide Master controls common design elements and helps maintain presentation-wide consistency.
Slide Master a high-yield PowerPoint concept because it controls common design elements such is called as background, logo placement, font style, colours, footer and placeholder positions. They also state that if the same change must appear across many slides, editing the Slide Master is better than changing every slide one by one. The assertion gives exactly that situation, and the reason states the rule that explains it. The feature is therefore about presentation-wide consistency, not one isolated slide.
Q4Which statement correctly describes an advantage of using Styles such as Heading 1 and Heading 2 in a long Word report?
Styles connect formatting with document structure. A Heading 1 style can define the main section title, Heading 2 the sub-sections and Normal the body text. When Styles are used, a formatting change can be applied across the whole document, and tools such as the Navigation Pane and an automatic table of contents become more reliable. Locking into PDF, recording tracked edits and merging a data source are different features. So the genuine advantage of Styles is consistent, document-wide formatting with reliable navigation and contents.
Q5Match the PowerPoint feature in List I with what it controls in List II. List I: 1. Slide Master 2. Transition 3. Animation List II: a. How one slide changes to the next b. How an object on a slide appears, moves or changes c. Common fonts, background and layout patterns across slides
Three PowerPoint controls are distinct. The Slide Master controls common design elements such as theme fonts, background and layout patterns across slides, so editing it changes many slides at once. A transition controls how one slide changes to the next when moving between slides, while an animation controls how an object on a slide appears, moves or changes. Hence the Slide Master pairs with common design, the transition with slide-to-slide change, and the animation with on-slide object effects.
