| 3 | (A) | 8 | (B) |

PART B — SUBJECT SPECIFIC SKILLS
Section 1 — Answer Key
| Q | Ans | Q | Ans |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | (A) Word Count | 16 | (A) Word Wrap |
| 12 | (B) IF() | 17 | (B) Entity integrity |
| 13 | (B) A relationship | 18 | (A) Insert → Audio or Video |
| 14 | (C) Rehearse Timings | 19 | (B) Group of adjacent cells |
| 15 | (B) Chart | 20 | (A) Database→Table→Record→Field |
Section 2 — Key Answers
Q21. Word Wrap automatically moves text to the beginning of the next line once it reaches the right margin of the page, without the user needing to press Enter manually; it is useful because it allows continuous typing while keeping the text neatly contained within the page margins.
Q22. The IF() function tests a given condition and returns one specified value if the condition is true, and another if it is false; for example, =IF(B2>=33,"Pass","Fail") displays "Pass" if the value in B2 is 33 or more, and "Fail" otherwise.
Q23. Entity Integrity ensures that the primary key field of a table always contains a unique, non-null value for every record, guaranteeing that each record in the table can be distinctly identified.
Q24. Rehearse Timings allows the presenter to practise delivering a presentation while the software records how long each slide is displayed; these recorded timings can then be used to automatically advance the slides at the same pace during the actual presentation.
Q25. A cell is a single, individual box formed by the intersection of a row and a column (e.g., B3); a cell range is a group of two or more adjacent cells treated together, referred to using the first and last cell separated by a colon (e.g., B3:B10).
Section 3 — Key Answers
Q26. Steps: (1) Select the text/paragraphs to be converted into a list. (2) Go to the Bullets and Numbering options in the toolbar (or Format → Bullets and Numbering menu). (3) Choose the desired bullet style or numbering format. (4) Click Apply/OK, after which the selected text is displayed as a bulleted or numbered list. (5) Further formatting (indentation, list style) can be adjusted using the same dialog box if needed.
Q27. A nested IF function is an IF() function placed inside another IF() function, allowing multiple conditions to be tested in sequence, useful when there are more than two possible outcomes; for example, =IF(B2>=90,"A Grade",IF(B2>=75,"B Grade","C Grade")) assigns grades based on multiple score ranges rather than just a simple pass/fail.
Q28. Relationships between tables (e.g., linking a "Students" table's StudentID field to a "Marks" table's StudentID field) prevent data duplication, ensure that data (like each student's details) is stored only once, and allow related information (like a student's marks) to be retrieved together accurately through queries, maintaining consistency between the tables.
Q29. Steps: (1) Select the desired slide(s) in Slide Sorter or Normal view. (2) Go to Slide → Slide Transition (or the Transition panel/tab). (3) Choose a transition effect (e.g., Fade, Wipe) from the available list. (4) Adjust the speed/duration and sound (if any) for the transition. (5) Choose whether to apply the transition to the selected slide only or to all slides, and confirm.
Q30. Print Preview shows how the document/spreadsheet/presentation will actually appear when printed, without using paper, allowing the user to check formatting and layout beforehand; Page Setup allows adjustment of settings like paper size, orientation (portrait/landscape) and margins. Checking both before printing helps avoid wasted paper/ink from incorrectly formatted printouts and ensures the final output looks as intended.
