Question

A text box moves out of place when content is edited during a presentation. Which design mistake MOST likely caused this?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Not using placeholders

PowerPoint slide layouts supply placeholders, which are predefined, anchored regions meant to hold titles, body text and other content in fixed positions.

Because a placeholder is tied to the layout, its content stays in the correct place even as text is added, removed or edited during the presentation.

If a designer inserts a free-floating text box instead of using the layout's placeholder, that box is not anchored to the layout and can drift out of position when its content is changed.

So the design mistake that most likely caused the text box to move when content was edited is Not using placeholders.

Using placeholders, and keeping the default layout that provides them, would actually keep the content stable, so those cannot be the cause.

A Slide Master modification changes the overall template consistently rather than making one box jump around during editing, so it is not the likely reason either.
