TRUE OR FALSE. WHEN PRESENTING TEXT ON A SCREEN, THE SMALLEST FONT SIZE YOU SHOULD USE IS 10 POINTS
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement "When presenting text on a screen, the smallest font size you should use is 10 points" is false. The font size to be used when presenting text on a screen depends on various factors such as the screen size, resolution, and the distance between the viewer and the screen. In some cases, a font size smaller than 10 points may be necessary to ensure readability, especially for large screens or when the viewer is at a closer distance. Therefore, there is no fixed rule stating that 10 points is the smallest font size that should be used when presenting text on a screen.Rate this question:

Using sound effects on every slide can actually make a presentation more distracting and less engaging for a large audience. Sound effects should be used sparingly and purposefully to enhance specific points or transitions in the presentation.

It is important to consider the audience's preferences and the overall tone and purpose of the presentation when deciding whether or not to use sound effects.Rate this question:

IT MAKES SENSE TO PUT AS MUCH INFORMATION ON EACH SLIDE AS YOU CAN
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Putting as much information as possible on each slide is not a good idea. It can overwhelm the audience and make it difficult for them to understand and retain the information. Slides should be clear, concise, and visually appealing, with key points and supporting visuals. This allows the audience to focus on the presenter and listen to the information being conveyed, rather than reading a cluttered slide.Rate this question:
