SSC MTS GK Questions 2026

Office 2007 introduced the Ribbon, a band of tabs such as Home, Insert and Page Layout, each divided into groups of related commands, in place of the drop-down menus and floating toolbars of earlier releases.

A form is the object designed for data entry and viewing: it presents the fields of a single record in a neat layout with labels, boxes, drop-down lists and buttons, so the person entering data never has to work directly in the raw grid of a table.

Visio supplies ready-made shape sets, called stencils, for flowcharts, organisation charts, network diagrams, floor plans, electrical schematics and entity relationship diagrams, and connectors that stay attached to a shape when it is moved, which is what distinguishes a diagramming program from a drawing program.

Project is the project management program of the Microsoft family. The user enters tasks with their durations and the dependencies between them, assigns people and costs, and the program draws the Gantt chart, a bar chart of time against task, and works out the critical path and the resource loading.

Publisher is built around page layout rather than around text flow: the user places text boxes, images and shapes exactly where they are wanted on the page, which suits brochures, greeting cards, certificates, labels and newsletters, and its files carry the extension.pub.

SMTP, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is the protocol that carries a message out of the sender's program and between mail servers until it reaches the recipient's mailbox.

The letters stand for personal storage table, and this single file holds the messages, calendar entries, contacts, tasks and notes of an Outlook account on the computer, which is why backing up the.pst file backs up the whole mailbox.

Bcc stands for blind carbon copy. Everyone listed in Bcc receives the message, but their addresses are hidden from the people in the To and Cc fields and from one another, which is why it is used for circulars sent to a long list.

A primary key is a field, or a combination of fields, whose value is different in every record and never left empty, so it can be used to pick out one record with certainty; an AutoNumber field is the usual choice because Access fills it in by itself.

From Access 2007 onwards, the default database format changed and files are saved with the extension.accdb, which stands for Access database and supports features such as multivalued fields and attachment data types.

Access stores data in separate tables that are joined to one another through keys, which is what makes it relational, and it provides tables, queries, forms, reports, macros and modules to work with that data.

It rises in the Black Forest of Germany, flows east across central and south-eastern Europe past Vienna in Austria, Bratislava in Slovakia, Budapest in Hungary and Belgrade in Serbia, and ends in a delta on the Black Sea.

The Rub al Khali, whose name is usually translated as the Empty Quarter, occupies the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula across Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, and it is the largest unbroken sand sea on earth.

The range runs roughly north to south through Russia from the Arctic coast towards the Caspian, and geographers have long used it, with the Ural river and the Caucasus, as the conventional line dividing the European part of Eurasia from the Asian part.

The Volga rises in the hills north-west of Moscow, flows across European Russia and ends in a delta near Astrakhan on the Caspian, which is a landlocked basin and the largest inland water body on earth.

Its basin lies on both sides of the Equator in central Africa, so the river crosses the line once as it flows north and again as it swings west and south towards the Atlantic.

The Atacama lies along the Pacific side of northern Chile, dried by two causes together: the Andes block moisture from the Amazon side and put it in a deep rain shadow, and the cold Peru or Humboldt current offshore chills the air so that little moisture moves inland.

The correct answer is B, the Sahara, which stretches across North Africa through about eleven countries from the Atlantic coast to the Red Sea and is the largest hot desert on earth.

Aconcagua stands in the Andes in the Mendoza region of western Argentina, close to the Chilean border, and at about 6,961 metres it is the highest summit of both the Americas and of the southern hemisphere, and so the highest anywhere outside Asia.

The range runs about 7,000 kilometres down the western edge of South America through Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina, and it carries Aconcagua, the highest peak outside Asia.
