    Which would make the best password?

    • Hello

    • School

    • C4lifoRn12

    Correct Answer
    A. C4lifoRn12
    Explanation
    The password "C4lifoRn12" would make the best password because it includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. This makes it more complex and harder to guess or crack. The other options, "Hello" and "School," are simple and easily guessable passwords that do not meet the criteria for a strong password.

By only opening e-mails from trusted sources, you reduce the risk of falling victim to cyberattacks or having your personal information compromised. It is important to exercise caution and verify the sender's identity before opening any e-mail, especially if it contains suspicious or unexpected content.

    The _____ command lets you save a file with a new name or a new location.

    • Save

    • Save As

    • Close

    Correct Answer
    A. Save As
    Explanation
    The "Save As" command allows the user to save a file with a new name or at a different location. This command is useful when the user wants to create a copy of the file or save it in a different format without modifying the original file. The "Save" command, on the other hand, simply saves the file with its current name and location. The "Close" command is unrelated to saving a file and is used to close the current window or application.

    • Output

    • Software

    • Hardware

    Correct Answer
    A. Software
    Explanation
    Software refers to the set of instructions that tells the hardware in a computer what to do. It is a collection of programs, data, and instructions that enable a computer to perform specific tasks. Unlike hardware, which includes physical components, software is intangible and can be stored and executed electronically. It includes operating systems, applications, and programming languages that allow users to interact with the computer and perform various functions. Therefore, software is the correct answer in this context.

    • Save file

    • Locate file

    • Save as

    Correct Answer
    A. Save as
    Explanation
    When saving a file for the first time, the "Save as" command is used. This command allows the user to specify the file name and location where the file should be saved. It is different from the regular "Save" command, which is used to save changes to an existing file. The "Save as" command ensures that the file is saved with a new name and location, creating a new file in the process.
