Presentations PowerPoint Presentations 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which PowerPoint feature lets you record narration and timings so the presentation can run automatically?
- Slide Show > Record Slide Show (Correct answer)
- Insert > Audio > Record Audio
- Transitions > Advance Slide
- View > Presenter View
Correct answer: Slide Show > Record Slide Show
Record Slide Show captures both narration and slide timings so the deck plays back automatically without a presenter.
Question 2: What is the purpose of the Slide Master in PowerPoint?
- To lock slides from editing
- To define global layouts, fonts, and colors applied to all slides (Correct answer)
- To create the first slide automatically
- To merge multiple presentations
Correct answer: To define global layouts, fonts, and colors applied to all slides
The Slide Master controls the default design elements—fonts, colors, and placeholder positions—across all slides in the presentation.
Question 3: When you apply a Theme in PowerPoint, which elements does it typically control?
- Only the background color
- Fonts, colors, and effects across all slides (Correct answer)
- Only text formatting on the title slide
- Transition speed between slides
Correct answer: Fonts, colors, and effects across all slides
A PowerPoint Theme bundles a coordinated set of colors, fonts, and graphic effects that apply consistently throughout the presentation.
Question 4: Which keyboard shortcut starts a slideshow from the current slide (not from the beginning) in PowerPoint?
- F5
- Shift+F5 (Correct answer)
- Ctrl+F5
- Alt+F5
Correct answer: Shift+F5
Shift+F5 starts the presentation from whichever slide is currently selected, while F5 always begins from slide 1.
Question 5: What does the 'Compress Media' option in PowerPoint do?
- Reduces the resolution of images only
- Reduces the file size of embedded video and audio (Correct answer)
- Converts the file to PDF format
- Removes all animations to shrink file size
Correct answer: Reduces the file size of embedded video and audio
Compress Media reduces the quality and file size of embedded video and audio clips to make the presentation easier to share.
Question 6: In PowerPoint, what is a 'Section' used for?
- Creating a table of contents automatically
- Grouping slides into labeled regions for easier organization (Correct answer)
- Hiding slides from the audience
- Applying a different theme to one slide
Correct answer: Grouping slides into labeled regions for easier organization
Sections let you group and label sets of slides so you can organize, collapse, or reorder large presentations more efficiently.
Question 7: What happens when you set 'Advance Slide' to 'After' a specific time in the Transitions panel?
- The animation plays at that speed
- The slide automatically advances after the specified number of seconds (Correct answer)
- The transition effect lasts that many seconds
- The slide is hidden after that time
Correct answer: The slide automatically advances after the specified number of seconds
Setting 'After' a time value causes PowerPoint to automatically move to the next slide after that duration, enabling self-running presentations.
