Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    All of the following are commands to hibernate the microphone EXCEPT

    • A.

      Go To Sleep

    • B.

      Stop Listening To Me

    • C.

      Microphone Off

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. Microphone Off
    Explanation
    The given question asks for the command that does not hibernate the microphone. The options "Go To Sleep" and "Stop Listening To Me" both imply putting the microphone into a hibernation or standby mode. "Microphone Off" is the only option that suggests turning off the microphone completely, rather than just hibernating it. Therefore, "Microphone Off" is the correct answer as it does not hibernate the microphone.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    All of the following are commands to unhibernate the microphone EXCEPT

    • A.

      Wake up

    • B.

      Listen to Me

    • C.

      Microphone On

    • D.

      All of the Above

    Correct Answer
    C. Microphone On
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Microphone On" because this command does not refer to unhibernating the microphone. The other options, "Wake up" and "Listen to Me," imply that the microphone is currently in a hibernated state and need to be activated. Therefore, "Microphone On" is the exception as it does not address unhibernating the microphone.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    After opening your file, before you can begin dictating, you must first

    • A.

      Turn on the microphone by saying microphone on

    • B.

      Turn on the microphone by clicking on the red microphone

    • C.

      Turn on the microphone by hitting the enter key on the numeric keypad

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. Turn on the microphone by clicking on the red microphone
    Explanation
    To begin dictating after opening a file, you need to turn on the microphone by clicking on the red microphone. This suggests that there is a visual representation of a microphone that needs to be activated by clicking on it in order to start dictating. The other options mentioned, such as saying "microphone on" or hitting the enter key on the numeric keypad, are not the correct methods for turning on the microphone in this scenario.

      Open Microsoft Office Word 2010

    • D.

      Start Microsoft Office Word 2010

    Correct Answer
    D. Start Microsoft Office Word 2010
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Start Microsoft Office Word 2010" because this command specifically mentions starting the Microsoft Office Word application. The other options either mention "Open" instead of "Start" or do not include the "Office" part in the application name.

    To delete everything on the page after typing a document, the best way is to use the command "Clear document." This command specifically instructs the system to remove all content from the document, ensuring that everything is deleted. The other options mentioned, such as "Select all," "Select document," and "Select paragraphs," do not explicitly indicate the deletion of the entire document.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    You have just dictated the following sentence: I need to get apples, bread, milk, and flour at the grocery store. You realize that you don't need apples, you need bananas. To change this, you give the command

    • A.

      "Highlight apples" then dictate "bananas"

    • B.

      "Select apples" then dictate "bananas"

    • C.

      "Replace apples with bananas"

    Correct Answer
    B. "Select apples" then dictate "bananas"
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Select apples" then dictate "bananas" because this command specifically selects the word "apples" and replaces it with the dictated word "bananas". This ensures that only the word "apples" is changed to "bananas" in the sentence, while the rest of the sentence remains unchanged.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    True or False. Using the command "New Line" is like hitting the enter key twice.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Using the command "New Line" is not like hitting the enter key twice. The "New Line" command is used to create a line break in a document or text, similar to pressing the enter key once. Pressing the enter key twice, on the other hand, creates a paragraph break, which is different from a line break. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 11.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Using the command "New Paragraph" is not like hitting the enter key twice and indenting with the tab key. The "New Paragraph" command simply starts a new paragraph without any additional formatting such as indentation.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the command "Space Twice" does not automatically enter a period for you, like on your cell phone. The command "Space Twice" simply enters two consecutive spaces, it does not insert any punctuation or special characters.
