Answer No: 2

A) Average:
All menu words count = 53

All menu functions=10

53/10=5.3

B) Disadvantage of putting all the functions on the Screen at Once:

The problem with putting all functions on the screen at once is that they will occupy too
much screen space, leaving little room for anything else and it will be hard to look for specific functions

C) Problem with Using Lots of Menu Headings:

Many menu headings will make it difficult for the user to decide under which heading a
desired command resides. Space would be too much congested.

D) Problem of Using Very Few Menu Headings:

Few menu headings means that each
menu will consist of many menu items, complicating the visual search task to locate the menu item and
increasing the average length of time it takes to drag the mouse and select an option.
Eight would be easier to Use:
We would tend to go for a larger number of smaller menus, under the assumption that
it is possible to create clear conceptual boundaries between menu categories. If the eight categories
lead to an easy-to-understand decomposition of the commands, then it would be easier to decide which
menu to select and then would be quick to select a menu item among a small number of options. A
small number of menus might result in an unclear decision on where to place some menu items.
