Question 6: Which character in a mail merge field denotes the start and end of a merge field name?

Merge fields appear with double angle brackets, such as <<FirstName>>, to distinguish them from regular text.
Question 7: What is the effect of setting text wrapping to 'Behind Text' for an image in Word?

Correct answer: The image appears as a watermark layer beneath the text
Behind Text wrapping places the image on a layer below the text, so text overlaps the image without being displaced.
