    Explanation
    When you "exit," it means that you are closing the document. Exiting typically refers to closing a program or file, and in this context, it means that the document you are working on will be closed and no longer accessible. Exiting does not involve saving the document or changing the size and style of the type; it simply means that you are ending your session with the document.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "What you call your document" because the file name refers to the name given to a document or file, which can be changed by the user. The other options, "Changed every time you exit" and "A list of menus," do not accurately describe the purpose or nature of a file name.

The menu bar typically contains options such as File, Edit, View, Tools, and Help, among others.

On the other hand, Shift is a modifier key that is held down temporarily to capitalize individual letters while typing. Therefore, both Caps Lock and Shift are used to capitalize letters, but in different ways.
