TRUE OR FALSE. IF YOUR SLIDE SHOW IS INTENDED TO BE PROJECTED ONTO A SCREEN WITH A DATA PROJECTOR, IT IS BEST TO USE DARK FONTS ON A LIGHT BACKGROUND.
A.
True
B.
False
Correct Answer

Explanation Using dark fonts on a light background is recommended when projecting a slide show onto a screen with a data projector. This is because dark fonts tend to be more legible and easier to read when displayed on a bright background. Light fonts on a dark background may cause strain on the eyes and make it difficult for the audience to read the content on the slides. Therefore, using dark fonts on a light background ensures better visibility and readability for the audience.

10.
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. False
Explanation 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.

Correct Answer
B. "VIEW", "SLIDE SORTER"
Explanation The correct answer is "VIEW", "SLIDE SORTER" because selecting this option allows the user to see multiple slides at once in a grid-like view, making it easier to rearrange and organize the slides in a presentation. This view is particularly useful when working with larger presentations or when trying to get an overview of the entire presentation structure.

WHEN RESIZING IMAGES, THE BEST WAY TO KEEP THE PROPORTIONS CORRECT WHILE MAINTAINING THE CENTRE OF THE IMAGE IS TO:
A.

D.
PRESS THE CONTROL KEY WHILE DRAGGING THE CORNER ANCHOR

Explanation When resizing images, pressing the Shift key while dragging the corner anchor is the best way to keep the proportions correct while maintaining the center of the image. This is because the Shift key constrains the proportions of the image, ensuring that it is scaled uniformly in both dimensions. By dragging the corner anchor, you can resize the image from any corner while maintaining the center position.

TRUE OR FALSE. IF YOU WANT TO CREATE AN "ON-SCREEN" PRESENTATION SUCH AS ON A COMPUTER OR TELEVISION SCREEN, LIGHT FONTS OVER DARK BACKGROUNDS ARE EFFECTIVE.
A.
True
B.
False
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation Light fonts over dark backgrounds are effective for on-screen presentations such as on a computer or television screen. This is because light fonts provide a high contrast against the dark background, making the text more readable and easier to see. The contrast helps to improve visibility and legibility, especially in low-light environments. Additionally, light fonts over dark backgrounds can create a visually appealing and modern aesthetic for the presentation.

A.
True
B.

Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation Using as many different slide transitions as possible in a business presentation does not demonstrate expertise in presentations. In fact, it can be distracting and unprofessional. A well-designed presentation should focus on delivering clear and concise information, using appropriate visuals and a consistent design. The focus should be on the content and the message, not on flashy transitions.

A.
True
B.
False
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation To accurately assess the overall impact of a slide show that will be projected with a data projector, it is important to check the presentation as it will be seen by the audience rather than just on your computer screen. This is because the projection may alter the colors, contrast, and overall visual quality of the slides, which can affect the audience's perception and understanding of the content. By reviewing the presentation on the projected screen, you can make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal visibility and clarity for the audience.

C.
NOTES
D.
OUTLINE
Correct Answer(s)
B. HANDOUTS C. NOTES
Explanation When presenting a lecture to a large audience, it is common to provide handouts to the audience so that they can follow along with the presentation and take notes. Handouts allow the audience to have a physical copy of the slides and any additional information or resources that may be provided. Additionally, providing notes can be helpful for the audience to have a summary or key points of the lecture. Therefore, selecting "HANDOUTS" and "NOTES" as options to print out PowerPoint presentations when presenting to a large audience is a suitable choice.

WHICH WOULD BE THE PREFERRED SLIDE ORIENTATION FOR MOST SLIDE PRESENTATIONS
A.

B.
PORTRAIT
C.

Correct Answer
A. LANDSCAPE
Explanation The preferred slide orientation for most slide presentations is landscape. Landscape orientation allows for a wider view of the content, making it easier to read and understand. It also allows for more space to include visuals and graphics. Portrait orientation, on the other hand, is better suited for documents or images that are taller than they are wide. Miniature orientation is not a commonly used slide orientation and may not provide enough space to effectively present information.

One way is to do "as you go" editing with Microsoft Office prompting, where the software will automatically highlight potential spelling errors as you type and suggest corrections. The other way is to run a spelling and grammar check at the end of creating the show, where the software will scan the entire presentation for any spelling or grammar mistakes and provide suggestions for correction.

TO MAKE A PRESENTATION MORE INTERESTING FOR A LARGE AUDIENCE, YOU SHOULD USE SOUND EFFECTS ON EVERY SLIDE
A.
True
B.
False
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation 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. Overusing sound effects can be overwhelming and take away from the main content of 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.

IT MAKES SENSE TO PUT AS MUCH INFORMATION ON EACH SLIDE AS YOU CAN
A.
True
B.
False
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation 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.
