Explanation: JPEG (JPG) is a widely used lossy compressed format for photographs and continuous-tone images on websites and in desktop publishing workflows.
3Desktop publishing (DTP) software is primarily used to:
A.Compile high-level programs into machine code
B.Route packets between networks using IP addresses
C.Design and layout pages combining text and graphics for print or digital publication
D.Encrypt database tables at the storage engine level
Explanation: Desktop publishing tools arrange text, images, and other design elements into page layouts suitable for books, brochures, magazines, and similar publications.
4In Adobe PageMaker, which tool is commonly used to create a rectangular text container that can hold flowing text?
A.Crop tool
B.Hand tool only
C.Zoom tool only
D.Text tool (text block/frame)
Explanation: PageMaker’s Text tool creates text blocks (frames) where users type or place text. Text can then flow, be formatted, and be linked across frames.
5In PageMaker page layout, the area outside the page edges used as temporary workspace for objects is called the:
A.Pasteboard
B.Control panel
C.Master page only
D.Story editor only

A.Vector logo path only
B.Database index only
C.Digital audio
D.IP subnet mask only
Explanation: Digital audio quality depends on sampling frequency (how often amplitude is measured) and bit depth (precision of each sample). CD-quality audio is commonly 44.1 kHz at 16-bit.
8Compared with lossy compression, lossless compression is designed to:
A.Discard image detail permanently to minimize file size at any cost
B.Always produce smaller files than any lossy method
C.Convert all media into plain ASCII text
D.Allow exact reconstruction of the original data after decompression
Explanation: Lossless methods (e.g., PNG for many images, FLAC for audio) compress without permanent information loss so the original data can be restored exactly.
