- 1.
What is another synonym for graphics?
- A.
Chalk
- B.
Images
- C.
Granite
Correct Answer
B. ImagesExplanation
The word "graphics" refers to visual images or designs produced on a computer or other electronic device. Therefore, "images" is a synonym for graphics as both terms refer to visual representations. "Chalk" and "granite" are unrelated to graphics and do not have the same meaning.Rate this question:

What are the TWO main types of digital graphics?
- A.
Bits (maps) and rasters
- B.
Bitmap (raster) and vector
- C.
Vector and graphites
Correct Answer
B. Bitmap (raster) and vectorExplanation
The correct answer is bitmap (raster) and vector. Bitmap or raster graphics are made up of pixels and are best for representing complex images or photographs. Vector graphics, on the other hand, are made up of mathematical formulas and are best for representing simple images or logos.Rate this question:

What makes up a raster image?
- A.
Paint
- B.
Pretzels
- C.
Pixels
Correct Answer
C. PixelsExplanation
A raster image is made up of pixels. Pixels are the smallest units of a digital image that are arranged in a grid-like pattern. Each pixel contains information about its color and brightness, and when combined together, they form the complete image. The more pixels there are in an image, the higher its resolution and level of detail. Therefore, pixels are the fundamental building blocks of a raster image.Rate this question:

Which term means 'converting an image into a grid of pixels?
- A.
Pixellating
- B.
Pixies
- C.
Rasterizing
Correct Answer
C. RasterizingExplanation
Rasterizing refers to the process of converting an image into a grid of pixels. This involves breaking down the image into small squares called pixels, each containing color information. By converting an image into a grid of pixels, it becomes easier to display and manipulate the image on digital devices such as computer screens. Therefore, out of the given options, rasterizing is the term that best describes the process of converting an image into a grid of pixels.Rate this question:

A vector image is made using a mathematical formula with scalable lines and curves
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A vector image is created using mathematical formulas to define lines and curves, allowing it to be scaled to any size without losing quality. This means that whether the image is displayed on a small screen or printed on a large poster, it will always appear sharp and clear. Unlike raster images, which are made up of pixels and can become pixelated when enlarged, vector images retain their smoothness and precision. Therefore, the statement that a vector image is made using a mathematical formula with scalable lines and curves is true.Rate this question:

What is image resolution?
- A.
The number of resolutions per inch
- B.
The number of pixels per inch
- C.
The number of lines per inch
Correct Answer
B. The number of pixels per inchExplanation
Image resolution refers to the number of pixels per inch (PPI) in an image. Pixels are the smallest units that make up a digital image, and the higher the number of pixels per inch, the more detail and clarity the image will have. This measurement is important when it comes to printing or displaying images, as a higher resolution will result in a sharper and more defined image. Therefore, the correct answer is "the number of pixels per inch."Rate this question:

In relation to image resolution , what does ppi stand for?
- A.
Photographic print image
- B.
Pixels per inch
- C.
Plain photo image
Correct Answer
B. Pixels per inchExplanation
The correct answer for this question is "pixels per inch". PPI stands for pixels per inch, which refers to the measurement of pixel density in an image. It indicates the number of pixels that are present in a one-inch linear distance. A higher PPI value signifies a higher resolution and sharper image quality, while a lower PPI value indicates a lower resolution and less detail in the image.Rate this question:

In relation to image resolution, what does dpi stand for?
- A.
Dots per inch
- B.
Depth per inch
- C.
Data per inch
Correct Answer
A. Dots per inchExplanation
DPI stands for dots per inch in relation to image resolution. It refers to the number of dots or pixels that can be displayed per inch in a printed or digital image. A higher DPI indicates a higher level of detail and sharpness in the image, while a lower DPI may result in a more pixelated or blurry appearance.Rate this question:

What image resolution is most common for computer screens?
- A.
350 dpi
- B.
72 dpi
- C.
150 dpi
Correct Answer
B. 72 dpiExplanation
The most common image resolution for computer screens is 72 dpi. This is because computer screens are typically designed to display images at a standard resolution of 72 dots per inch. This resolution provides a good balance between image quality and file size, allowing for smooth and clear display of images on computer screens. Higher resolutions may not be necessary for computer screens as they can result in larger file sizes and slower loading times.Rate this question:

What is the minimum image resolution for printing?
- A.
350 dpi
- B.
72 dpi
- C.
150 dpi
Correct Answer
C. 150 dpiExplanation
The minimum image resolution for printing is 150 dpi. DPI stands for dots per inch and refers to the number of dots or pixels that can be printed within a one-inch area. A higher DPI results in a higher quality and sharper image, while a lower DPI may lead to pixelation and loss of detail. Therefore, 150 dpi is the minimum resolution required for a satisfactory print quality.Rate this question:

Which file format is best suited for graphics with few colours?
- A.
BMP
- B.
JPEG
- C.
TIFF
- D.
GIF
Correct Answer
D. GIFExplanation
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is best suited for graphics with few colors because it uses a limited color palette of up to 256 colors. This compression method allows for smaller file sizes, making it ideal for images with simple graphics and fewer colors. Additionally, GIF supports transparency and animation, making it a popular choice for simple icons, logos, and web graphics.Rate this question:

This is an example of an image with low resolution?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The question is asking if the given image is an example of an image with low resolution. The answer is "True" because low resolution refers to an image that has a lower number of pixels, resulting in a lower level of detail and clarity. Without any additional information or context provided, we can assume that the image in question has a low resolution.Rate this question:

This is an example of the type of image that would be created using vector?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This question is asking whether the given image is an example of the type of image that would be created using vectors. The correct answer is False. Since the question does not provide any image or description of the image, it is impossible to determine whether the image is created using vectors or not. Therefore, the answer is false as we cannot make a definitive statement about the type of image without any information.Rate this question:

If you wanted to create a logo to be printed large and small it would be best created as a vector drawing.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A vector drawing is the best choice for creating a logo that needs to be printed in different sizes because it is not resolution-dependent. Unlike raster images, which are made up of pixels and can lose quality when scaled up or down, vector drawings are made up of mathematical equations and can be resized without any loss of quality. This makes vector drawings ideal for logos that may need to be printed in various sizes, ensuring that they always appear crisp and clear.Rate this question:
