B.  Long answer type questions:
               1.  What are tables? How do we insert them in a document?
             Ans.  The representation of data in the form of rows and columns is called a table. A table can be created with one row and one
                  column also. The intersection of a row and a column will make a cell.
                  Some of the examples of tables are list of friends, student details, employee details, etc.
                  We can create table in the given ways:
                  ●  Using the Table icon    on the Standard toolbar.
                     OR
                     Select Insert → 'Table...' → Insert Table from the Menu bar.
                     OR
                     Using Shortcut key Ctrl+F12.
               2.  What are headers and footers? How do we insert them in a document?
             Ans.  Header appears at the top of each page in a document like the author's name, book title, company logo etc. Footers appear
                  at the bottom of each page like page number, document information etc. In a document with multiple pages, adding
                  header and footer increases the readability of the document.
                  The steps to add header and footer are:
                  Insert → Header and Footer → Header
                  Insert → Header and Footer → Footer

               3.  Name four types of horizontal alignment available in digital documentation.
             Ans.  Horizontal alignment refers to placement of text with respect to left and right margins of the document. There are four
                  types of horizontal alignment:

                  a.   Left (Default):    Text is aligned on the left margin with irregular alignment of the right side. Shortcut keys for Left
                     alignment is Ctrl+L.
                  b.   Right:    Text is aligned on the Right margin with irregular alignment of the left side. Shortcut keys for Right alignment
                     is Ctrl+R.
                  c.   Centered:    Text is aligned keeping in mind the center of the page with irregular placement of text on both left and
                     right margins. Shortcut keys for Centered alignment is Ctrl+E.
                  d.  Justified:    Text is aligned properly on both left and right margins. Shortcut keys for Justified alignment is Ctrl+J.

               4.  Write a short note on Indentation.
             Ans.  Indent is the space (gap) of text (a line or paragraph) from the edge/margin of the page. The margin settings are applied
                  to the whole document or the text area but indentation sets the space of a paragraph from the margin with respect to the
                  rest of the text that is below or above it. Different types of indentations are:

                  ●  Before Text/Left Indent: This option indents text from the left margin.
                  ●  After Text/Right Indent: This option indents text from the right margin.
                  ●  First Line Indent: This option indents the first line of a paragraph from the left margin.
               5.  What is a superscript and a subscript? Write the steps to apply the superscript and subscript.
             Ans.  Superscript is a number or letter written in smaller font and above the other character baseline. Exponents in Mathematics,
                  ‘th’ with the day in date are written using superscripts in a document.
                  Subscript is a number or  letter  written in  smaller font and  below the other character  baseline.  In Science,  chemical
                  equations are written using subscripts in a document.
                  To apply superscript, perform the following steps:
                  Step 1: Select the text.
