What is the first step to add the title "cosmetic procedures" to the slide?

To add the title "cosmetic procedures" to the slide, the appropriate first step is to click the title placeholder and type. In PowerPoint, each slide typically contains designated areas called placeholders, which are specifically set up for different types of content. The title placeholder is specifically formatted for text that serves as the slide's main title, allowing it to stand out and establishing a clear focus for the audience. By clicking directly into this placeholder, users can ensure that the title is formatted correctly and appears in the right position on the slide, providing a cohesive structure to the presentation.

The other choices involve less effective methods. For instance, clicking the content placeholder would not be suitable for entering a title because that area is meant for other types of content like images or bullet points. Clicking outside the slide does not activate the title area and thus would not allow for proper text entry. Navigating to the slide layout options relates to changing how the entire slide is structured rather than inputting the specific title text itself. Therefore, using the title placeholder directly for entering the title is the most effective and appropriate method.
