i. To capture a full-page screenshot on a MacBook, you can use a combination of keys to take a screenshot of the entire screen and then use the built-in Preview app to save it as a PDF. Here's how:

1. **Take a Screenshot of the Entire Screen**:
Press Shift + Command + 3 simultaneously. This will capture a screenshot of the entire screen.

2. **Open the Screenshot**:
After taking the screenshot, you'll typically see a thumbnail of it appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Click on this thumbnail to open the screenshot in the Preview app.

3. **Convert to PDF**:
Once the screenshot is open in Preview, go to the "File" menu and select "Export as PDF...".

4. **Save the PDF**:
Choose a location on your MacBook where you want to save the PDF, enter a filename, and then click "Save".

This process will convert the full-page screenshot into a PDF file that you can view and share. Additionally, if you prefer to capture the screenshot as an image file (e.g., PNG or JPEG), you can press Shift + Command + 4 to activate the screenshot tool, then press the Spacebar to switch to full-screen mode, and finally click on the window or area you want to capture. The screenshot will be saved to your desktop as an image file.

ii. On a Mac, there are several keyboard shortcuts you can use to capture screenshots:

1. **Capture Entire Screen**: Press `Command (⌘) + Shift + 3`. This will capture the entire screen and save it as a file on your desktop.

2. **Capture Selected Portion of the Screen**: Press `Command (⌘) + Shift + 4`. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair. Click and drag to select the portion of the screen you want to capture. Release the mouse button to take the screenshot.

3. **Capture a Specific Window or Menu**: Press `Command (⌘) + Shift + 4`, then press the Spacebar. Your cursor will turn into a camera icon. Move the camera icon over the window or menu you want to capture and click. This will capture only the selected window or menu and save it as a file on your desktop.

After taking a screenshot, a thumbnail preview will appear in the bottom-right corner of your screen. You can click on the thumbnail to quickly edit or share the screenshot, or you can let it disappear and find the screenshot saved on your desktop.

Additionally, if you're using macOS Mojave or later, you can press `Command (⌘) + Shift + 5` to bring up the screenshot toolbar, which provides options for capturing the entire screen, a selected portion, a specific window, or recording the screen. This toolbar also allows you to set a timer for screenshots and choose where to save them.

iii. Here are a few easy ways to take a screenshot (screencap) on a Mac:

1. Keyboard shortcut:
- Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3 to take a screenshot of your entire screen and save it as a file on your desktop.

2. Keyboard shortcut to capture a selected area:
