guaranteed pass GRADE A 100% VERIFIED
What is the best reason to use a flat file instead of a database?ANS>>> To exchange information
between systems
Which USB (Universal Serial Bus) version first introduced a SuperSpeed mode?ANS>>> USB 3.0
Which of the following poses a higher risk to ensuring business continuity?ANS>>> A converged network
In a SQL (Structured Query Language) command, what does the WHERE clause determine in the result
set?ANS>>> The number of rows
Why do companies pay for a software license subscription plan instead of a less expensive one-time
purchase?ANS>>> One-time purchases do not include full-feature upgrades.
What's a true statement about variables?ANS>>> A variable can have any data type that the
programming language supports.
An office computer needs a new keyboard and mouse. Before ordering them, the assistant should check
which ports are available, to decide which style to purchase. Which port is NOT part of the
consideration?ANS>>> HDMI
What is the easiest way to install a standard mouse, and configure it to use basic settings?ANS>>> Use
Control Panel/Settings.
A programmer's task is to analyze a colleague's pseudocode and make it better. What will the
programmer try to do?ANS>>> Make it more compact and efficient.
Which of the following encrypts data at rest?ANS>>> File-level encryption
What is the advantage of DAS (Direct Attached Storage) over NAS (Network Attached Storage)?ANS>>>
DAS is less expensive.
, What is an example of "processing" in a computer system?ANS>>> Data is written to memory and
manipulated by the CPU.
Which TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) layer encapsulates packets and deals
with routing between different networks?ANS>>> Internet
An office building is using a Wi-Fi access point. The computer used to configure the access point's device
options is located on the other side of the building. What does a technician need to make it
work?ANS>>> IP address of the web configuration page
What is a downside to digital products?ANS>>> Digital products are easy to copy and steal.
Which statement holds true about a desktop/workstation when comparing it to a server?ANS>>>
Servers use the same type of components as a desktop.
What storage technology do SSDs (Solid State Drives) use?ANS>>> Flash memory
Why would a programmer create a function instead of a procedure?ANS>>> The process which calls the
function needs to receive back a return value.
What is a true statement about interpreters and interpreted programming languages?ANS>>> An
interpreter converts the program into machine code at runtime.
What does 5 GB (GigaBytes) memory mean in the context of the Microsoft Windows operating
system?ANS>>> 5120 MB
A workstation experiences slowdowns while running Microsoft Word. The program does not respond to
attempts to close it, therefore the user executes the Task Manager utility to quit the program. What
does this fall under?ANS>>> Process management
What is an example of a cloud hosted application?ANS>>> Google mail
When using web search engines, why should privacy considerations affect a user's decisions?ANS>>> A
user's web searches can reveal very valuable information.
