Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In PowerPoint, Ctrl + Home takes you to the first slide of the presentation, not to the 'Home' ribbon or tab. This is a navigation shortcut that jumps to the beginning of your slide deck.

Multiple choice general knowledge

Ctrl+Esc = Task manager?

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ctrl+Esc opens the Start menu in Windows, not the Task Manager. To open Task Manager directly, you need to press Ctrl+Shift+Esc or Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Therefore the statement that Ctrl+Esc equals Task Manager is false.

Multiple choice general knowledge

Ctrl + F4 = F4

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ctrl+F4 is used to close the current document or tab in applications that support multiple documents (MDI applications like older Microsoft Office programs). The F4 key alone has various functions depending on context (like Alt+F4 to close applications). They are not equivalent.

Multiple choice general knowledge

Ctrl + B = Bold a folder

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ctrl+B is the keyboard shortcut for making text bold in most applications (word processors, text editors, browsers). It does not make folders bold - folders cannot be formatted with text styling like bold in Windows. Therefore the statement is false.

Multiple choice general knowledge

Ctrl + I = favorites

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ctrl+I is the keyboard shortcut for making text italic in most applications, not for accessing favorites. To access favorites in browsers, you typically use Ctrl+D (bookmark current page) or Alt+D (focus address bar). Therefore the statement is false.

Multiple choice general knowledge

Alt + F2 = Close a activ window

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Alt+F2 is not the standard Windows shortcut to close a window. In Windows, Alt+F4 closes the active window, and F2 alone is used for renaming. In some Linux distributions (like Ubuntu), Alt+F2 opens the Run Application dialog, not a window close function.
