Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Use both uppercase and lowercase letters, with generous space between lines of text, and limit the number of fonts to one or two per slide. Choose font sizes that are easy to read from anywhere in the room, usually between 28 and 36 points, and test them in the room if possible.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Effective text slides supplement your words and help the audience follow the flow of ideas. Use text to highlight key points, summarize and preview your message, signal major shifts in thought, illustrate concepts, or help create interest in your spoken message.
