Question 1 — Word processing
1.63 marks

Locate the SmartArt under 'Incubator timeline': change layout to 'Pie Process', set colours to any 'Primary Theme Colors', and add the bullet 'Seed Stage' as a new final item.

Show answer

  1. Click the SmartArt. On SmartArt Design → Layouts gallery → More Layouts… → Process → Pie Process → OK.

  2. SmartArt Design → Change Colors → under Primary Theme Colors pick any option.

  3. Open the Text Pane (arrow on the left edge of the graphic). Click at the end of "Demo day", press Enter, type Seed Stage. (Alternative: Add Shape → Add Shape After, then type the text.)

Why this earns the marks

one action per bullet in the question: layout, colour and content are three independent properties of a SmartArt graphic, so setting one never automatically satisfies another. The new item must be last, so add it after the final existing entry — SmartArt keeps its Text Pane bullets and visual shapes in the same order, so where you add the new line in the outline is exactly where the new shape appears in the diagram. The sample picture in the paper shows five items ending with Seed Stage, which is a good check that you added a genuinely new sixth bullet rather than editing an existing one.
