(SPM 2008 2.) Laila has to send a document file containing confidential information by e-mail to her manager. What Laila has to do to prevent unauthorised access to the contents of the file?
Laila perlu menghantar satu fail dokumen yang mengandungi maklumat sulit kepada pengurusnya melalui e-mel.
Apakah yang perlu dilakukan oleh Laila untuk menghalang capaian tidak sah ke atas kandungan fail itu?
Correct Answer
A. B. Encrypt the file/ Mengenkrip fail itu.
Explanation
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.

(SPM 2008 3.i.) Figure 1 shows the information processing cycle.
Rajah 1 menunjukkan kitaran pemprosesan maklumat.
Choose A, B, C or D for each of the following functions./ Pilih A,B,C atau D dengan setiap fungsi berikut.
(i) Display processed data/ Memaparkan data diproses.
Correct Answer
c, c output
Explanation
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.
4.
(SPM 2008 3.ii.) Figure 1 shows the information processing cycle.
Rajah 1 menunjukkan kitaran pemprosesan maklumat.
Choose A, B, C or D for each of the following functions./ Pilih A,B,C atau D dengan setiap fungsi berikut.
(ii) Store data, instructions and information for future use./ Menyimpan data, suruhan dan maklumat untuk kegunaan masa depan.
Correct Answer
d, d storage, d storan
Explanation
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.
5.
(SPM 2008 4.) State whether the following statement is True or False./ Nyatakan sama ada pernyataan Benar atau Palsu
Storage controls and coordinates operations in a computer system.
Storan mengawal dan menyelaras operasi di dalam sebuah sistem komputer.
Correct Answer
A. False/ Palsu
Explanation
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.
6.
(2008 5.) Which of the following is a primary storage device?
Antara berikut yang manakah peranti storan utama?
Explanation
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.

A,B dan C adalah slot - slot dijumpai di atas sebuah papan induk.
Which slot is to be used to fix network interface card (NIC).
Slot yang mana digunakan untuk memasang kad antara muka rangkaian.
Correct Answer
a, a expansion slot, a slot tambahan
Explanation
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.

This type of network design is known as a star topology, where all devices are connected to a central hub or switch.
12.
(SPM 2008 9.) Figure 5 shows a network communication device. / Rajah 5 menunjukkan satu peranti komunikasi rangkaian.
State the name of the device.__________________________________________/
Nyatakan nama peranti itu. ____________________________________.
Correct Answer
nic, network interface card, kad antara muka rangkaian
Explanation
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.

(i) the name of the cable _______________________________________________
Nama kabel itu ___________________________________________.
Correct Answer
fibre optic, fibre optic cable, penghantaran data, kabel gentian optik, gentian optik
Explanation
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.

(ii):_____________________________
Correct Answer
kod pseudo, pseudocode
Explanation
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.
