IC3 - Digital Literacy Certification Digital Literacy Presentation Software Applications 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which file format is most universally compatible for sharing a presentation that others cannot easily edit?
- PPTX
- PDF (Correct answer)
- ODP
- DOCX
Correct answer: PDF
Saving a presentation as a PDF preserves its layout and formatting across all devices and operating systems while preventing easy editing, making it the best choice for distribution.
Question 2: What does the 'Slide Master' feature in presentation software primarily control?
- The order in which slides appear during a slideshow
- The consistent fonts, colors, and layouts applied across all slides (Correct answer)
- The animation speed of slide transitions
- The number of slides allowed in a presentation
Correct answer: The consistent fonts, colors, and layouts applied across all slides
The Slide Master is a top-level slide that controls the default formatting — fonts, colors, background, and placeholder positions — applied consistently to all slides in the presentation.
Question 3: When embedding a video into a presentation, what is a key advantage of embedding over linking?
- The file size of the presentation decreases
- The video plays even if the original file is moved or deleted (Correct answer)
- The video quality automatically improves
- The presentation loads faster
Correct answer: The video plays even if the original file is moved or deleted
Embedding stores the video directly inside the presentation file, so it plays correctly regardless of whether the original video file is available, unlike a link which breaks if the source file moves.
Question 4: What is the purpose of 'Rehearse Timings' in presentation software?
- To set automatic slide transitions based on how long you practice each slide (Correct answer)
- To add a countdown clock visible to the audience
- To sync slide animations with background music
- To check spelling errors before presenting
Correct answer: To set automatic slide transitions based on how long you practice each slide
Rehearse Timings records how long you spend on each slide during practice, then saves those durations so the presentation can advance automatically at the same pace during the live show.
Question 5: Which view in presentation software is best suited for adding and formatting text content on a single slide in detail?
- Slide Sorter view
- Reading view
- Normal view (Correct answer)
- Presenter view
Correct answer: Normal view
Normal view displays one slide at a time at full size alongside the slide panel and notes pane, making it the most practical view for editing and formatting individual slide content.
Question 6: What does 'kerning' refer to in the context of presentation text formatting?
- The vertical spacing between lines of text
- The spacing adjustment between individual pairs of characters (Correct answer)
- The overall margin around a text box
- The shadow effect applied to letters
Correct answer: The spacing adjustment between individual pairs of characters
Kerning specifically refers to adjusting the horizontal spacing between individual character pairs to improve visual balance and readability, distinct from general letter-spacing or line spacing.
