    Adding RAM is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest way to improve computer performance.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Adding RAM (Random Access Memory) to a computer can indeed improve its performance. RAM is responsible for temporarily storing data that the computer is actively using, allowing for faster access and processing. By increasing the amount of RAM, the computer can handle more data and programs simultaneously, reducing the need for the computer to rely on slower storage devices like hard drives. Additionally, adding RAM is relatively simple and cost-effective compared to other hardware upgrades, making it an accessible option for improving computer performance.

    FTP allows you to retrieve files that are publicly available from a computer system on the Internet.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files between a client and a server on a computer network. It enables users to retrieve files that are publicly available from a computer system on the Internet. This means that if a file is accessible to the public and hosted on an FTP server, users can use FTP to download and retrieve that file onto their own computer. Therefore, the statement "FTP allows you to retrieve files that are publicly available from a computer system on the Internet" is true.

    The root directory is the topmost directory in a file system hierarchy. It is the starting point from which all other directories and files are organized. In a directory structure, the root directory is considered to be the first layer as it does not have any parent directory above it. Therefore, the given statement that the root directory is the 1st layer of the directory structure is true.

    The primary device that a computer uses to store information.

    • Monitor

    • CPU

    • Hard disk

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard disk
    Explanation
    The hard disk is the primary device that a computer uses to store information. It is a non-volatile storage device that stores data magnetically on rotating disks. Unlike temporary storage devices like RAM, the hard disk retains data even when the computer is turned off. It is where the operating system, software, and user files are stored. The CPU and monitor are important components of a computer, but they do not directly store information like the hard disk does.

    Word processing is the ability to produce or modify the text to create a

    • Virus

    • Document

    • Spreadsheet

    Word processing refers to the ability to produce or modify text, which aligns with the creation and editing of documents. A virus is a malicious software that can harm computer systems, so it is unrelated to word processing. A spreadsheet is a tool used for organizing and analyzing data, which is different from word processing.

    Mention the name of the ports that are used for devices which do not transmit data rapidly. 

    • Parallel

    • Centronics

    • Serial

    • SCSI

    Correct Answer
    A. Serial
    Explanation
    Serial ports are used for devices that do not transmit data rapidly. Unlike parallel ports, which can transmit multiple bits of data simultaneously, serial ports transmit data one bit at a time. This makes them suitable for devices that do not require high-speed data transmission, such as printers, scanners, and modems. Centronics and SCSI are examples of parallel ports, which are used for devices that require faster data transfer rates.

    Explanation
    Outlook is an email client software that allows users to send, receive, and organize their emails. It is commonly used for managing email accounts, calendars, contacts, and tasks. Unlike Windows 98, MS Office, and Internet Explorer, Outlook specifically focuses on email functionality and provides a dedicated platform for users to access and manage their emails efficiently.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Where does the computer store information when it's turned off?

    • RAM

    • Monitor

    • Disks

    • Scanner

    Correct Answer
    A. Disks
    Explanation
    When a computer is turned off, it stores information on disks. Disks, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, are non-volatile storage devices that retain data even when the power is switched off. This allows the computer to access the stored information again when it is turned back on. RAM, on the other hand, is a volatile form of memory that requires power to maintain data, so it cannot store information when the computer is turned off. Monitors and scanners are output and input devices respectively, and they do not store any information when the computer is powered off.

This includes tasks such as adding, deleting, or modifying text, as well as rearranging or reorganizing the content. Inserting refers to adding new elements or text into the document, while formatting involves changing the appearance of the text or page layout. Therefore, the correct answer is editing, as it encompasses all these actions.

    • Use the original value in A6

    • Use a zero in place of A6

    • Show the error value #Reff!

    Correct Answer
    A. Use a zero in place of A6
    Explanation
    When cells are merged, the content of the leftmost cell is preserved, while the content of the other cells is discarded. In this case, since cells A4, A5, and A6 are merged, the content of cell A4 will be preserved, and the content of cells A5 and A6 will be discarded. Therefore, the formula in cell E6, which refers to cell A6, will now use a zero in place of A6.
