Why do you put the cover slip at an angle when you make a wet-mount slide?
To prevent air bubbles from getting trapped under the cover slip
Why is it important to put a coverslip over the drop of water when you prepare a wet mount?
You use them to cover the object on the slide, so that it doesn't slip. Usually, you put a drop of water in between the slide and cover slip as well. Also, the possibility of trapping air bubbles is reduced.

Advantages of the wet-mount preparation?
Cells remain moist in a wet mount, allowing you to see the cell components clearly. Specimens appear in their natural condition. It is possible to observe living and moving organisms. It is also possible to observe certain processes of life, such as feeding and cell division (for water-based mounts).
Why a smear preparation is preferred compare to a wet mount?
bcoz a heat-fix smear have a good contrast than the wet mount
