Which of the following is the default slide layout in a PowerPoint presentation?

Correct answer: Title Slide. A new PowerPoint presentation starts with the Title Slide layout for the first slide.

Background: A layout decides where the text and objects are placed on a slide.

• Blank: Blank is a layout you choose, not the default first slide.
• Title only: Title Only is a layout you choose, not the default.
• Title and content: Title and Content is the usual layout for later slides, not the first one.

Did you know? You can change a layout from the Home tab’s Layout button.

Memory trick: First slide → Title Slide.
