a) Standard toolbar
b) Formatting toolbar
c) Drawing toolbar
d) Common tasks toolbar
- Standard Toolbar (a): This toolbar offers general commands for common tasks like saving, opening, printing, and copying/pasting. It doesn’t have specific functionalities tied to master views.
- Formatting Toolbar (b): This toolbar focuses on formatting text elements like font styles, alignment, and indentation. While it might be useful within master views for formatting text placeholders, it doesn’t offer diverse options across different master views.
- Drawing Toolbar (c): This toolbar provides tools for creating and manipulating shapes, lines, and other drawing objects. It’s not directly related to master views, which focus on slide layouts and formatting.
- Common Tasks Toolbar (d): This is the least likely candidate based on current versions of PowerPoint. In older versions (pre-PowerPoint 2007), the Common Tasks toolbar might have offered some options related to slide layouts, but its functionality has been largely replaced by the Ribbon interface in newer versions.
The Ribbon interface, introduced in PowerPoint 2007, offers context-sensitive tabs and commands that change depending on the view you’re in, including master views. For example, the “Slide Master” tab within the Ribbon provides various options for editing and formatting the slide layout, text styles, and background elements specifically within the Slide Master view.
Therefore, while the Common Tasks toolbar might have been relevant in older PowerPoint versions, the Ribbon interface with its context-sensitive tabs has become the primary source for options within different master views in current versions.
