    • Mavis Beacon

    • Microsoft Word

    • Microsoft PowerPoint

    Correct Answer
    A. Microsoft Word
    Explanation
    Microsoft Word is an example of a word processing program because it is specifically designed for creating, editing, and formatting text documents. It provides various features such as spell check, grammar check, formatting options, and the ability to insert images and tables. Unlike web browsers like Safari, typing tutor programs like Mavis Beacon, or presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word focuses solely on word processing tasks, making it the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    Margin
    margen
    Explanation
    The blank border on each side of the print on a page is known as the margin. It provides space between the content and the edge of the page, allowing for easier reading and a cleaner layout. The margin helps to frame the content and prevent it from being too close to the edges, ensuring that the text or images are not cut off or obscured.

    • Box

    • Cell

    • Table

    • Square

    Correct Answer
    A. Cell
    Explanation
    The space at the intersection of a row and column in a spreadsheet is commonly referred to as a "cell". Cells are used to store and organize data in a spreadsheet, allowing for easy manipulation and analysis. Each cell can contain text, numbers, formulas, or other types of data. They are identified by their unique address, which consists of a letter representing the column and a number representing the row.

    A template is a preset format for a document or file, used so that the format does not have to be recreated each time it is used.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A template is a pre-designed format or layout that is used as a starting point for creating documents or files. It eliminates the need to recreate the format from scratch every time it is needed, saving time and effort. Templates are commonly used in word processing software, presentation software, and graphic design programs. They provide consistency and efficiency by providing a standardized structure that can be easily customized to suit individual needs. Therefore, the statement "A template is a preset format for a document or file, used so that the format does not have to be recreated each time it is used" is true.

    • Delete

    • Delete Forwards

    • Return

    • Esc Key

    Correct Answer
    A. Delete
    Explanation
    The given description is referring to the term "Delete". When we delete characters to the left of the insertion point, we are removing them from the text before the cursor. This action is commonly performed using the "Delete" key on a keyboard.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The insertion point is the imaginary line that the text will conform to on the left or sometimes right side of the page.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the insertion point refers to the location where new text will be inserted in a document, such as a cursor or blinking line. It does not have any relation to the imaginary line that the text will conform to on the left or right side of the page.

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

  • 10.
