Question

Which of the followings is not a font style?

A.

Bold

B.

Italic

C.

Regular

D.

Superscript

Correct option is D

Superscript is not a font style; it is a text formatting option used to position text slightly above the baseline and reduce its size, typically used in mathematical notations, chemical formulas, or footnotes (e.g., X², H₂O).

In contrast, Bold, Italic, and Regular are font styles that change the appearance of the text.

Important Key Points:

  1. Font Styles:
    • Bold: Makes the text thicker and darker for emphasis.
    • Italic: Slants the text for emphasis or distinction.
    • Regular: The default style, with no emphasis or additional formatting.
  2. Superscript:
    • Purpose: Positions text above the baseline (e.g., X²).
    • Application: Found in the Font group under "Format Text" in MS Word or other text editors.

Knowledge Booster:

  1. Why Not Other Options?
    • a) Bold:
      • Correct. A font style that makes text bold and prominent.
    • b) Italic:
      • Correct. A font style that slants text for emphasis.
    • c) Regular:
      • Correct. The default font style with no special formatting.
    • d) Superscript:
      • Incorrect as a font style. It is a text formatting option, not a style.
  2. Difference Between Font Style and Formatting:
    • Font Style: Changes the appearance of text (e.g., Bold, Italic).
    • Formatting Options: Adjust text position or alignment (e.g., Superscript, Subscript).
  3. Interesting Fact:
    • Superscript and Subscript are widely used in scientific and mathematical documents, while font styles like Bold and Italic are common in professional writing.
