Case Based Critical Thinking: Case 1 Jewel has been hired by a new design company to present a workshop on clipping masks, shapes, and paths. She is excited for the chance to play teacher, but she has had very little experience presenting to groups. In order to show confidence during the presentation, Jewel reviewed the material and wrote extensive notes. Unfortunately, she let her nerves get the best of her, and made several mistakes during the workshop. Jewel said that shapes always appear in white until you decide what color to make them. What mistake did she make? A. It is impossible to create a white shape. B. Shapes are automatically filled with the current foreground color. C. Shapes are always invisible unless a color is chosen before they are created. D. Shapes are automatically filled with the current background color.
B. Shapes are automatically filled with the current foreground color.

Unfortunately, she let her nerves get the best of her, and made several mistakes during the workshop. Jewel told her students that a shape and a path are basically the same thing. What error did she make? A. Shapes are bitmapped objects, paths are not. B. She didn't make an error in this instance. C. A path is actually a rasterized shape. D. A path cannot be closed while all shapes are closed by definition.

A. It is not possible to rasterize a shape. B. A rasterized shape creates a file that is too large to be copied. C. Rasterized objects can be moved, but they can never be copied. D. A rasterized shape cannot be moved or copied because it has been converted to a bitmap object.
D. A rasterized shape cannot be moved or copied because it has been converted to a bitmap object.
