The up and down arrows in the Animation Pane reorder which animations play first or last on a given slide.
Question 6: Which of the following Emphasis animations makes an object spin around its center point?
- Spin (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Spin
The Spin Emphasis animation rotates an object around its center and allows you to specify degrees and direction.
Question 7: What happens when you set a 'Delay' value of 1.00 second for an animation triggered 'After Previous'?
- The animation waits 1 second after the preceding animation finishes before starting (Correct answer)
- The animation plays 1 second before the previous one ends
- The slide advances after 1 second automatically

Correct answer: The animation waits 1 second after the preceding animation finishes before starting
A Delay of 1.00 second on an 'After Previous' trigger inserts a 1-second pause after the prior animation completes.
