Section E: Spot the Error
Q1
B — A main heading should use the Heading 1 style, not Normal. With Normal it will not look like other headings and will not update when Heading 1 is changed. It should be apply(Heading1, "Why recycle?").
Q2
C — Setting the size by hand is manual formatting, so this heading can differ from the others. It should apply the style: apply(Heading1, "Our Goals").
Q3
A — The headings use Heading 1, so the change must be made to the Heading 1 style. Changing Normal does not update the headings. It should be style Heading1: font = Arial.
Q4
B — Consistent fonts means the styles share the same font (or a matching pair). Comic makes the headings clash with the rest of the document. It should be font = Calibri.
Q5
B — Title is only for the document's main title, used once. A chapter heading should use Heading 1, so the line should be apply(Heading1).
