The correct answer is a, an expansion slot. An expansion slot is a slot on a motherboard that allows for additional components to be added to the computer system. In this case, a network interface card (NIC) is a component that allows a computer to connect to a network. Therefore, the expansion slot would be used to fix the NIC onto the motherboard.

Based on Table 2, the task "Documentation" is represented by the letter "s".

The operating system in Figure 3(a) is Linux.

The user interface shown in Figure 3(b) is a graphical user interface (GUI) or antara muka grafik.

The function of N1 in the network design shown in Figure 4 is to act as a server or pelayan.

The correct answer is "topologi bintang, star topology." This is because Figure 4 shows a network design where all the devices are connected to a central device (Computer N1), which controls access to resources on the network. This type of network design is known as a star topology, where all devices are connected to a central hub or switch.

The correct answer is "nic, network interface card, kad antara muka rangkaian." The device shown in Figure 5 is a network interface card (NIC), also known as a network adapter or network card. A NIC is used to connect a computer to a network, allowing it to send and receive data. It is typically installed internally in a computer and provides a physical connection to the network through an Ethernet cable. The NIC acts as an interface between the computer and the network, enabling communication between the two.

The term "foreign key" refers to a field key in a table that must match a primary key value in another table. In other words, it is a reference to a primary key in a different table, establishing a relationship between the two tables. This ensures data integrity and allows for the creation of relationships between tables in a database.

In Table 5, the column labeled "X" represents the variable "record" in English, while the column labeled "Y" represents the variable "rekod" in Malay.

The correct answer is c, c output because in the information processing cycle, the function of displaying processed data is represented by the output stage. This is where the processed data is presented to the user or displayed on a screen or output device. Therefore, option c, c output is the correct choice for this function.

In the given question, the table is mentioned as Table 5 which represents a sample data file. The question asks for the representation of X and Y based on the table. Since the table is a data file, X and Y are most likely representing fields or variables within the data file. Therefore, the correct answer is "medan" which means "field" in English.

A low level programming language uses codes, instructions, and is machine dependent. Bahasa pengaturcaraan aras rendah menggunakan kod, arahan, dan bergantung kepada mesin.

The correct answer is "fibre optic, fibre optic cable, penghantaran data, kabel gentian optik, gentian optik". This is because the characteristics mentioned in Table 1, such as high bandwidth, low attenuation, and high data transmission rate, are all associated with fibre optic cables. Therefore, the name of the cable used in the wired network system is fibre optic cable. Additionally, the other terms mentioned are alternative names or translations for fibre optic cable.

The correct answer is "d, d storage, d storan" because in the information processing cycle, one of the functions is to store data, instructions, and information for future use. This involves storing the data in a storage medium such as a hard drive or memory, which allows the data to be accessed and retrieved at a later time. The term "storan" is the Malay translation for "storage," indicating that the answer is referring to the function of storing data for future use.

The correct answer is "information system, sistem maklumat" because these terms are shown in Table 3 and they match the given statement.

The first generation computer was known by multiple names including ENIAC, UNIVAC, and Mark 1. These computers were developed in the 1940s and were characterized by their use of vacuum tubes for processing and storage. ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, was the first general-purpose electronic computer and was used primarily for military calculations. UNIVAC, or Universal Automatic Computer, was the first commercially available computer and was used for business applications. Mark 1, also known as the Harvard Mark I, was a large electromechanical computer developed by Harvard University.

In the program design phase, a solution is represented in the form of design, flow chart, and logic structure. This phase involves planning and creating a blueprint for the program, including the overall structure and organization. It is important to design the program properly in order to ensure that it meets the desired requirements and functions correctly. The design phase helps in visualizing the solution and laying out the steps and processes involved in implementing it.

The correct answer is "problem analysis, analisis masalah." In the system development process, problem analysis is the phase where the team identifies and analyzes the issues or challenges that need to be addressed by the library information system. This phase involves gathering requirements, understanding the current system, and identifying the problems or improvements needed. By conducting a thorough problem analysis, Mary and her team can ensure that the library information system meets the needs and expectations of the school.

A high-level programming language uses codes, symbols, and is machine dependent.

The first phase of program development is problem analysis or analisis masalah. In this phase, the developer identifies and analyzes the problem that needs to be solved through the program. This includes understanding the requirements, constraints, and objectives of the program. The purpose of this phase is to gain a clear understanding of the problem before proceeding to the next phases of program development.

In the (i) analysis phase, a solution is represented in the form of (ii) pseudocode, flow chart and logic structure. Pseudocode is a way to represent the solution algorithmically using a combination of natural language and programming code-like syntax. It helps in planning and designing the solution before actually implementing it in a specific programming language. Flow charts provide a graphical representation of the solution's logic and structure, making it easier to understand and visualize the steps involved. Together, pseudocode, flow charts, and logic structure aid in the clear and systematic representation of the solution.

The cable's function, as indicated in Table 1, is data transmission or penghantaran data.

Animation is indeed the creation of an illusion of movement by displaying a series of still images in sequence. It involves the rapid display of a sequence of images to create the perception of motion. This technique is commonly used in movies, video games, and other forms of multimedia to bring characters and objects to life.

The flow chart in Figure 7 has a control selection structure, meaning that it includes decision points where the program can take different paths based on certain conditions. This can be seen in the flow chart where there are diamonds representing decision points and arrows indicating different paths depending on the condition. Therefore, the statement is true.

The statement is false because storage does not control and coordinate operations in a computer system. Storage is responsible for storing and retrieving data, but it does not have control or coordination capabilities. Control and coordination in a computer system are typically handled by the central processing unit (CPU) and the operating system.

A programming language is indeed a set of rules that can be used to instruct a computer on what tasks to perform. It provides a way for programmers to communicate with the computer and write instructions in a format that the computer can understand and execute. These instructions can include commands, functions, and algorithms that define the logic and behavior of a program. Therefore, the statement is true.

To prevent unauthorized access to the contents of the file, Laila needs to encrypt the file. Encryption is the process of converting the information in the file into a code that can only be accessed with a decryption key. This ensures that even if the file is intercepted or accessed by unauthorized individuals, they will not be able to understand the contents without the decryption key. Encrypting the file adds an extra layer of security and protects the confidentiality of the information being sent.

The correct answer is "RAM (Random Access Memory)". RAM is a type of primary storage device that is used to store data that is actively being used by the computer's processor. It is volatile memory, meaning that its contents are lost when the computer is powered off. RAM is responsible for storing instructions and data that are currently being executed by the processor, allowing for quick access and retrieval of information.
