4. True or False. If you give the command "Space Twice", a period will automatically be entered for you, like on your cell phone.

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.

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.

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

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.

Submit
7. You have just dictated and selected the following sentence: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Giving the command "All Caps That" will

Explanation

The command "All Caps That" is used to capitalize every letter in the sentence. This means that all letters in the sentence will be converted to uppercase.

Submit
8. After typing a document, you decide that you want to delete everything on the page. The best way to highlight the entire document and delete it is to give the command

Explanation

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.

Submit
9. When dictating, if a word is split like this: every body what command should you give to correct it?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Compound that." When dictating, if a word is split like "every body," the command "Compound that" should be given to indicate that the two words should be joined together to form a compound word.

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

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.

Submit

Explanation

To change the font and size of the entire document, the best way is to use the command "Select all." This command will highlight or select the entire document, allowing you to easily apply the desired formatting changes to the entire text. The other options, "Highlight all" and "Highlight document," are not commonly used commands and may not be available in most word processing software. "Select document" is not a valid command and does not exist.

Explanation

The correct answer is to say "Choose ..." and then the number on the corrections menu. This is because the question mentions that after dictating a sentence, the corrections menu pops up. Therefore, to correct the mistake, one needs to specifically state "Choose" followed by the number corresponding to the correction option on the menu.

Submit
14. All of the following are commands to hibernate the microphone EXCEPT

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.

Submit

16. After typing a document, you need to get back to the beginning. The best way to do this is to give the command

Submit
17. All of the following are commands to unhibernate the microphone EXCEPT

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.

Explanation

When using Dragon Naturally Speaking, the keypad on the keyboard can be used to turn on the microphone.

This feature allows for a more convenient and efficient way of using the speech recognition software without having to manually activate the microphone through other means.

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.

Submit
20. You have just dictated and selected the following sentence: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Giving the command "Cap That" will
