Mark considers gradients to be an important design component for many types of Illustrator artwork. He tells his team that gradients can be _____.

a gold heart

Mark draws a red heart shaped object on the art board. He then creates a gold star that is larger than the heart object and positions the star over the heart, He selects both then applies the Intersect shape mode. What does he now see on the art board?

curves

Mark finds that his designers don't know any of the terms used to describe different components of a path. He tells his designers to compare a path drawn with the Pen tool to a road through the woods. With that analogy, a smooth point would occur at these places in the road:

stroked lines and filled rectangles

Mark knows that his designers aren't programmers, but he feels it's important that a designer has some amount of understanding of how a program works. He asks his team that, working in Illustrator, if they wanted to create a linear gradient but couldn't use any of the gradient tools, they could create the gradient with which of the following _____.

One of the designers flows body copy text into the main text box on flier number five, formats it, then realizes that one paragraph is overflowing the text box. He tells Mark how he solved the problem, and Mark tells him that, of all the choices he had for fitting the text, he chose the worst option in terms of the overall design of the total project of ten fliers.
