MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: C

Correct answer: Ungrouping

A clip art picture arrives as one grouped drawing. Ungrouping it (Draw → Ungroup) breaks it into the individual shapes it was built from, and those become ordinary PowerPoint objects whose colours and positions can be changed one by one. Grouping and regrouping put the pieces back together.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Blinks diagonal

PowerPoint’s transitions include Dissolve, Fade Through Black, and the Blinds effects - Blinds Horizontal and Blinds Vertical. There is no diagonal Blinds effect and no transition called Blinks diagonal, so that is the odd one out.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Portrait

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of above

Answer: D

The title slide is the opening layout, carrying the presentation title and a subtitle. It names the topic and sets the tone before any content appears. A bullet slide carries the body points, while table and graph slides present data later in the deck.
