1.
A web designer is creating a website and needs to ensure that all instances of the word "image" are replaced with "picture" in the website's HTML code. The designer wants the replacement to be case-insensitive, meaning it should replace "image", "Image", and "IMAGE". Describe how the web designer would use the 'Find and Replace' function in their text editor (e.g., Notepad++, Sublime Text, VS Code) to achieve this.
The specific steps may vary slightly depending on the text editor used, but the general process is as follows:
- Open the HTML file in the text editor.
- Open the 'Find and Replace' dialog (usually accessed via Edit menu).
- In the 'Find' field, type image.
- In the 'Replace' field, type picture.
- Look for an option to enable case-insensitive matching. This is often represented by a checkbox or a toggle switch. The exact wording might be 'Match Case', 'Case Sensitive', or similar. The designer should ensure this option is unchecked or disabled.
- Click the 'Replace All' button.

A student is creating a report on the benefits of using different software applications. They need to present a clear and organised list of these benefits. Describe how the student could use bullet points and numbered lists within a word processing package (like Microsoft Word or Google Docs) to effectively present this information. Include specific examples of when each type of list would be most appropriate.
To effectively present the benefits of different software applications, the student should utilize both bulleted and numbered lists within the word processing package. Bulleted lists are best used when the order of items is not important. For example, if the student is listing general advantages of software like improved efficiency, enhanced collaboration, and better data storage, these would be presented as bullet points. Each point should be concise and easy to read.
Numbered lists are appropriate when the order of items is significant. For instance, if the student is outlining the steps involved in installing a particular software application, or listing the stages of a software development lifecycle, a numbered list would be the most suitable format. Each number represents a distinct step or stage. The numbering provides a clear sequence.
The student should ensure consistent formatting for both types of lists, including appropriate indentation and clear, concise wording for each item. This will enhance readability and make the report easier to understand.

A student is creating a report on different types of renewable energy. The report needs to include the name of the energy source, a brief description, and its advantages. The student wants to present this information in a clear and organised table. Describe how the student would use tabulation features in a word processing program (like Microsoft Word) to create this table, including specifying the type of tab (left, right, centered, decimal) and how to format the paragraphs within the table cells.
To create the table, the student would use the "Insert Table" function in their word processing software. They would specify the number of rows and columns needed to accommodate the information: likely three columns (Energy Source, Description, Advantages) and multiple rows for each energy source.
Tabulation Features:
- Left Alignment: The student would use the left alignment option for the "Energy Source" and "Description" columns. This is standard for readability.
- Centered Alignment: The "Advantages" column could be centered to visually highlight the key benefits of each energy source.
- Decimal Tab: If the advantages column includes numerical data (e.g., efficiency percentages), the student would use a decimal tab to align the numbers correctly. This ensures that decimal points are aligned for easier comparison.
- Indented Paragraphs: The student could use indented paragraphs within the "Description" and "Advantages" cells to improve readability and visually separate the information. This makes the text easier to scan.
- Hanging Paragraphs: Hanging paragraphs could be used in the "Advantages" column to further visually distinguish the advantages from the main description. This is achieved by indenting the first line of each paragraph.
The student would then fill in the table with the relevant information for each renewable energy source.
