Question

Which statement best describes a good presentation slide?
It is preferable to include as much text as possible.
A dark-colored background will highlight the text well.
Keep it simple and remember that less is usually best.
A number of fancy fonts will add depth to the slide.

Answer 1

"Keep it simple and remember that less is usually best."

Brief rationale: slides should support your talk, not duplicate it. Use minimal, readable text, one main idea per slide, clear high-contrast colors, a single readable font, and relevant visuals to reinforce—not overwhelm—your message.
