    Explanation
    A spreadsheet with drop-down items that a user can select from is an example of the "List" function.

    What procedure should be followed to ensure that an object does NOT change in a word processing document when it is edited in the spreadsheet of its original creation?

    • Embed

    • Import

    • Link

    Correct Answer
    A. Embed
    Explanation
    To ensure that an object does not change in a word processing document when it is edited in the spreadsheet of its original creation, the procedure that should be followed is to embed the object. Embedding allows the object to be inserted directly into the document, making it independent of the original spreadsheet. This means that any changes made to the object in the spreadsheet will not affect its appearance or content in the word processing document.

    The "If" function should be used by a sales manager to indicate whether a salesperson met the goal of $6,000 sales this month. The "If" function allows the manager to set a condition and specify what action should be taken if the condition is met.
