Answer explanation

The options given are possible things you can do to your shapes. So the answer is none of the choices.

All statements are TRUE except one. Find the wrong statement.

• Under Lines, the last three (3) options are Curve, Freeform, and Scribble.

• To finish your drawing, either double-click to leave it as a line, or link the curve by clicking the starting point to create a solid shape.

• Rather than going through the hassle of layering text boxes on top of shapes, you can add text directly to a shape so that it moves, rotates, shrinks, and expands when you format the object.

• To see PowerPoint’s built-in shapes, go to the Insert tab, and under the Add-ins group, click on the Shapes button to see the list.

All statements are FALSE except one. Find the correct statement.

• Blue points will appear around your shape. You can either click on a point and drag it to stretch or shrink that area of your shape, or you can click on a point and use the line and handles that appear to alter the curve.

• You can change the color and outline of a shape, but you can't add 3D effects.

• Whenever you move your mouse over the text area of the shape your pointer will change to the text cursor to allow you to select and edit your text.

• To access the Shape Style gallery click on the Quicky Styles button
