    A hard drive

    • Permanently stores data even when the computer is off

    • Only stores data when the computer is on

    • Stores the information the processor needs to run applications

    • Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. Permanently stores data even when the computer is off
    Explanation
    A hard drive permanently stores data even when the computer is off because it uses non-volatile memory technology. This means that the data remains stored on the hard drive even without power. When the computer is turned on, the hard drive retrieves the stored data and provides it to the processor, which uses the information to run applications. Therefore, both statement B (only stores data when the computer is on) and statement C (stores the information the processor needs to run applications) are correct.

    How does a hard disk drive store data?

    • By slightly scratching the surface of the disk in patterns representing binary code

    • By using a magnet to realign particles on the disk in north/south patterns representing binary code

    • By laser etching the surface of the disk with ridges of different heights representing binary code

    • By using a grid of millions of tiny electric switches that can be open or closed to represent 0 and 1 or binary code

    Correct Answer
    A. By using a magnet to realign particles on the disk in north/south patterns representing binary code
    Explanation
    A hard disk drive stores data by using a magnet to realign particles on the disk in north/south patterns representing binary code. This is achieved through a process called magnetic recording, where the disk is coated with a magnetic material. The magnet inside the hard drive's read/write head manipulates the magnetic field, causing the particles on the disk to align in specific patterns. These patterns represent binary code, with north and south orientations corresponding to 0s and 1s. By reading the magnetic field, the hard drive can retrieve and store data.

This saves time and effort compared to manually typing or copying and pasting each email address. Additionally, it allows for easy management and organization of the recipients, as you can easily add or remove contacts from the group as needed.

    CC and BCC are useful for

    • Saving copies of your emails on your hard drive

    • Keeping a recipient in the loop while letting them know they don't need to respond

    • Sending an email to a large number of recipients

    • Keeping your emails private

    Correct Answer
    A. Keeping a recipient in the loop while letting them know they don't need to respond
    Explanation
    CC (Carbon Copy) and BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) are useful for keeping a recipient in the loop while letting them know they don't need to respond. When you CC someone on an email, it means that you are including them as an additional recipient, allowing them to be aware of the conversation without requiring their direct input. BCC, on the other hand, allows you to send the email to multiple recipients without revealing their identities to each other. Both options are helpful in keeping others informed without burdening them with the expectation of a response.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Stands for uniform resource locator and tells the web browser where to find the website
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "stands for uniform resource locator and tells the web browser where to find the website." This is the correct answer because a URL is a string of characters that represents the address of a resource on the internet. It is used to locate and access websites by providing the necessary information to the web browser. The other options mentioned in the question are not accurate explanations of what a URL is.

    In email BCC...

    • Stands for blind carbon copy and hides your email address from the recipient

    • Stands for blind carbon copy and hides the email address which are sent a copy

    • Stands for blind current copy and hides the email addresses which are sent a copy

    • Both A and B

    Correct Answer
    A. Stands for blind carbon copy and hides the email address which are sent a copy
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Stands for blind carbon copy and hides the email address which are sent a copy." When you BCC someone on an email, their email address is hidden from the recipients of the email. This allows you to send a copy of the email to someone without the other recipients knowing that they have been included. The BCC field is useful for maintaining privacy and confidentiality in email communication.

    RAM

    • Permanently stores data even when the computer is off

    • Only stores data when the computer is on

    • Stores information the processor needs to run applications

    • Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. Permanently stores data even when the computer is off
    Explanation
    RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that is volatile, meaning it loses its data when the computer is turned off. Therefore, the given answer is incorrect. RAM only stores data when the computer is on and it is used to temporarily store information that the processor needs to run applications.
