The three transitions used to connect different sequences are Wipe, Dissolves, and Fade. These transitions help to create smooth and seamless transitions between different scenes or sequences in a video or film. Wipe is a transition where one scene gradually replaces another by moving across the screen. Dissolves is a transition where one scene gradually fades out while the next scene gradually fades in. Fade is a transition where the scene gradually becomes black or white, either at the beginning or end of a sequence. These transitions add visual interest and help to maintain the flow and continuity of the storytelling.

Correct Answer
A. Superimposition
Explanation
Superimposition refers to the process of overlaying or combining multiple image layers to create a single image where all layers are visible. In this case, when all of each image layer is visible, it suggests that the layers have been superimposed to create a composite image. The term "composite" could also be used to describe this process, but "superimposition" is a more specific term that accurately captures the action of layering images. "Assembled image" and "archived image" do not accurately describe the process of combining layers, making them incorrect options.

When you create a program by removing unwanted material, this is what type of editing?
Correct Answer
A. Subtractive
Explanation
When you create a program by removing unwanted material, it is referred to as subtractive editing. This type of editing involves eliminating unnecessary elements or content from the program to improve its overall quality or efficiency.
