The Help menu typically contains a search function or a list of topics that provide assistance and guidance to users. It is designed specifically to provide support and instructions for users who may be unfamiliar with certain tasks or features on the computer.

    Explanation
    The Edit menu is the correct answer because it typically contains options such as "Undo" or "Undo Last Action" which allow users to reverse a mistake they made while working on a document or project. These options provide a convenient way to revert back to a previous state before the mistake was made, helping users correct errors and improve their work.

    How do you know a word is a link on a website?

    • It tuns green

    • It turns into a hand

    • It smiles

    Correct Answer
    A. It turns into a hand
    Explanation
    When browsing a website, a word is indicated as a link when it turns into a hand. This is a common practice in web design to visually distinguish clickable links from regular text. By changing the cursor to a hand icon, it provides a clear visual cue to the user that they can click on that word to navigate to another page or website. The color or appearance of the link does not necessarily indicate that it is clickable, but the change in cursor to a hand is a reliable indicator.

    A. Format menu
    Explanation
    The Format menu is the correct answer because it typically contains options to change the appearance of text, images, and other elements in a document or application. This menu often includes options such as font styles, colors, sizes, alignments, and formatting styles. By accessing the Format menu, users can modify the visual aspects of their content to suit their preferences or specific requirements.

    Which extension would give you a graphic that  is on a transparent background?

    • .jpg

    • .png

    • .gif

    • .xls

    Correct Answer
    A. .png
    Explanation
    The .png extension is the correct answer because it supports transparency. Unlike .jpg and .gif, which do not have the ability to display transparent backgrounds, .png files can retain transparency information, allowing the graphic to be placed on any background without a solid color fill. .xls is not an image file extension, so it is not relevant to the question.
