  • 2. 

    8. In a business letter cc: stands for:

    • Complimentary copy or carbon copy

    • Check cut

    Correct Answer
    A. Complimentary copy or carbon copy
    Explanation
    The abbreviation "cc:" in a business letter stands for "carbon copy" or "complimentary copy". This means that when you send a letter to someone and want to send a copy to another person, you would include their name after "cc:" to indicate that they are receiving a copy of the letter. This allows multiple recipients to be aware of the communication without having to send separate letters to each person.

    21.  Citation is a reference to a source.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Citation is indeed a reference to a source. When writing an academic paper or conducting research, it is important to give credit to the original authors or sources of information that were used. A citation provides the necessary information about the source, such as the author's name, title of the work, publication date, and page numbers. This allows readers to locate and verify the information, as well as acknowledge the original creator. Therefore, the statement "Citation is a reference to a source" is true.

    Explanation
    MS Word is the most suitable software for writing a research paper because it provides a wide range of tools and features specifically designed for creating and formatting documents. It offers various formatting options, such as headers and footers, citations, and a bibliography tool, which are essential for academic writing. Additionally, MS Word allows for easy collaboration and editing, making it convenient for multiple authors working on the same paper. It also has a spell check and grammar check feature, ensuring the accuracy of the content. Overall, MS Word provides the necessary tools and functionality to effectively write and format a research paper.

    5. On Office Button, you canNOT do which of the following?

    • Open a file

    • Print a file

    • Format a file

    Correct Answer
    A. Format a file
    Explanation
    On the Office Button, you cannot format a file. The Office Button typically allows users to access various options and functions related to managing and manipulating files, such as opening a file or printing a file. However, formatting a file is not one of the available options on the Office Button. Formatting a file usually involves changing the appearance or layout of the content within the file, such as adjusting fonts, colors, or page settings. This action is typically performed through other menus or options within the software program being used.

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    This statement is true because a font refers to a specific size and style of a typeface. It includes all the characters, letters, numbers, and symbols in that particular size and style. Fonts allow users to choose different variations of a typeface to suit their design needs.

  • 8. 

    1. Which of the following is an example of BAD file management?

    • Create a folder for each of your classes and name the folders with each of your class names

    • Create folders and name the folders 1, 2, 3 and put random pictures and documents in each of the folders

    • Create a folder within a folder to store pictures

    Correct Answer
    A. Create folders and name the folders 1, 2, 3 and put random pictures and documents in each of the folders
    Explanation
    Creating folders and naming them with numbers and then randomly placing pictures and documents in each folder is an example of bad file management because it lacks organization and makes it difficult to locate specific files. It is important to have a systematic and logical file management system to easily find and access files when needed.

    6. If you’re including any other documents when mailing a letter, you should include the word Enclosure at the end of the letter.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When mailing a letter, if you are including any other documents along with it, it is considered good practice to include the word "Enclosure" at the end of the letter. This helps to inform the recipient that there are additional documents enclosed with the letter. By including this word, it ensures that the recipient is aware of the additional materials and can easily identify them when opening the letter. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    10. Which of the following is a salutation in a business letter?

    • Dear

    • What’s up dawg

    • Cordially

    Correct Answer
    A. Dear
    Explanation
    "Dear" is a commonly used salutation in a business letter. It is a formal and respectful way to address the recipient of the letter. "What's up dawg" is too informal for a business letter, and "Cordially" is a closing phrase rather than a salutation.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    11. Which of the following formatting option does NOT apply to a business letter?

    • Font can be any style

    • Language should be formal

    • Business letters are a way to communicate

    Correct Answer
    A. Font can be any style
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Font can be any style". This option does not apply to a business letter because in a professional setting, it is important to maintain a consistent and professional appearance. Using a variety of font styles can make the letter look unprofessional and may distract the reader from the content of the letter. It is recommended to use a standard and easily readable font style, such as Arial or Times New Roman, for business letters.

  • 12. 

    24.  Which of the following is NOT a search engine.

    • Internet Explorer

    • Google

    • Yahoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Internet Explorer
    Explanation
    Internet Explorer is not a search engine, but rather a web browser developed by Microsoft. While it does have a search bar integrated into the browser, it relies on search engines like Google or Bing to provide search results. Google and Yahoo, on the other hand, are both well-known search engines that allow users to search for information on the internet.

    • Folders cannot be deleted after creating

    • Folders can be moved, deleted, and renamed

    Correct Answer
    A. Folders cannot be deleted after creating
    Explanation
    The given answer is incorrect. Folders can be deleted after creating. Deleting a folder removes it from the file system and permanently deletes all the files and sub-folders contained within it. Therefore, the correct answer should be "None of the above" as all the properties mentioned in the options are true for folders.

    Rate this question:

    9. Which of the following is a close in a business letter?

    • Dear

    • What’s up dawg

    • Cordially

    Correct Answer
    A. Cordially
    Explanation
    A close in a business letter is a formal way to end the letter and show respect and professionalism. "Cordially" is a commonly used close in business correspondence as it conveys a polite and friendly tone. It is appropriate for both formal and semi-formal letters and is a professional way to end a business communication.

    Explanation
    The criteria that should not be used when determining if a website is credible is how animated the site is.

    • Creates their listings automatically

    • Requires a human to add the listing

    • Uses server responses

    Correct Answer
    A. Creates their listings automatically
    Explanation
    A crawler-based search engine is a type of search engine that automatically creates their listings by using web crawlers or spiders to systematically browse and index the content of websites. These crawlers follow links on web pages, collecting information about the content and structure of the websites they visit. This information is then used to create the search engine's listings, which are the results displayed when users perform a search. Unlike search engines that require a human to manually add listings, a crawler-based search engine automates the process of indexing and updating its database of web pages.

    Correct Answer
    A. Used to create graphics
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because a table is not used to create graphics. Tables are commonly used to organize and present data in a structured format with columns and rows. They are also used in web design to arrange content on a webpage. However, creating graphics is typically done using software or tools specifically designed for graphic design, not tables.
