    Explanation
    Sharing your password with anyone, even your best friend, is not recommended.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Everything you see online is true" is false. The internet is filled with a vast amount of information, and not all of it is accurate or reliable.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is important to log off when leaving a computer to ensure the security of personal information and prevent unauthorized access. By logging off, all active sessions and user data are terminated, reducing the risk of someone else accessing sensitive data or making unauthorized changes. This practice is especially crucial in shared or public computer environments where multiple users may have access to the same device. Logging off also helps to maintain system performance by freeing up resources and preventing unnecessary background processes from running.

    Correct Answer

    To insert a word into the middle of a sentence, you need to move the cursor to the desired location in the sentence and type the new word. This allows you to place the word exactly where you want it without having to retype the whole sentence or move the cursor to the beginning of the document.

    An animation in PowerPoint refers to a picture or object that has been given motion or movement. It is a visual effect that can be added to enhance presentations and make them more engaging. Unlike a sound, which is an audio element, or an animal, which is a living creature, an animation specifically pertains to the movement of a picture or object within a PowerPoint slide. A bullet, on the other hand, is a term used to describe a point or item in a list.

When you put something online, it is accessible to various parties such as the platform itself, advertisers, and potentially hackers. Additionally, even if you set privacy settings, there is still a risk of your information being shared or leaked.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the above information, including name, address, and phone number, should be kept secret when you are on the computer.

    Correct Answer
    A. Tell a trusted adult
    Explanation
    When an online friend wants to meet with you, it is important to prioritize your safety. Telling a trusted adult is the correct answer because they can provide guidance and help ensure your well-being. Meeting someone from the internet alone can be dangerous, as their intentions may not be clear. Asking where to meet or giving them your address can also put you at risk. By involving a trusted adult, you can make a more informed decision and take necessary precautions to protect yourself.

    Copyright is a legal concept that grants exclusive rights to the creator of an original work, such as a piece of writing, music, video, or artwork. These rights include the right to reproduce, distribute, display, and perform the work, as well as the right to create derivative works based on the original. By granting ownership, copyright protects the creator's intellectual property and allows them to control how their work is used and monetized. Therefore, the statement "Copyright provides ownership to the creator over a piece of written, audio, video, or artistic work" is true.

    The proper way to exit Word or PowerPoint is to:

    • Select the new command

Selecting the new command would create a new document or presentation, not exit the program. Turning the computer off is a drastic and unnecessary step to exit the program. Pressing escape may close certain windows or dialogs, but it does not guarantee a proper and safe exit from the program.
