Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) All visuals have two layers of design: the background and the foreground. The background is the equivalent of paper in a printed document, and the elements in the foreground are the essential content of your slides. Make sure the background stays in the background and doesn't distract viewers or compete with the foreground.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) The slide master allows you to apply similar design elements to the slide show as a whole, lending it consistency and continuity. It can be used for a presentation of any length or purpose.
