UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Presentation software is designed to organise content into slides that can be projected or displayed on screens. Teachers can combine bullet points, pictures, charts and sometimes embedded videos to structure explanations. This helps them maintain logical flow and provides students with visual cues that complement oral explanations. Accordingly, slide creation and display is the primary educational use of such software.

Option A:
Audio editing is typically handled by specialised digital audio workstations, not by standard presentation tools. While sound clips can be embedded, mixing audio is not the core purpose.

Option B:
This option accurately reflects the main design goal of programs like PowerPoint. By allowing easy rearrangement of slides and use of design themes, they support clear communication and focus student attention on key ideas.

Option C:
Database formatting and server configuration are tasks for database management systems and administrators. Presentation programs do not provide these functions.

Option D:
Antivirus operations rely on security software that scans files and processes; presentation tools are not built for threat detection or removal.

Presentation software enables users to design slide shows with structured content, visuals and animations to support lectures and talks. It enhances the clarity and visual appeal of classroom communication. Because its primary purpose is to present information to audiences, it is called presentation software.

Option A:
Option A is correct because presentation software is the standard term for tools that create and display slide based visual aids, fitting the description in the question.

Option B:
Option B, statistical, software is used for advanced data analysis and does not focus on creating slides.

Option C:
Option C, antivirus, software provides security functions and has no direct role in preparing teaching slides.

Option D:
Option D, database, software manages structured data in tables and is not used primarily for presentations.
