Final answer:
The simplest way to animate an object is to use the Motion Path option.
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest way to animate an object is to use the Motion Path option. With motion path animations, you can move an object along a specified path. This can be a straight line, a curve, or a custom path that you create.
For example, if you want to animate a ball moving across the screen, you can use a motion path to define the trajectory of the ball's movement.
To create a motion path animation, you can select an object, go to the animation tab, choose motion path and specify how you want the object to move.
