Submit
89. (220) Which type of lists uses pointers to connect each element together? 

Explanation

Linked lists use pointers to connect each element together. In a linked list, each element contains a reference to the next element in the list, forming a chain. This allows for dynamic memory allocation and efficient insertion and deletion of elements. In contrast, other types of lists such as derived, ordered, and sequential do not necessarily use pointers to connect elements together.

Submit
90.  (202) Which is a very simple example of an error detecting code?

Explanation

A parity bit is a simple error detecting code that is commonly used in data transmission. It is a single bit that is added to a group of bits to make the total number of ones either even or odd. When the data is received, the parity bit is checked to ensure that the number of ones is consistent with the chosen parity (even or odd). If the number of ones does not match, it indicates that an error has occurred during transmission. Therefore, a parity bit is a very simple example of an error detecting code.

Submit
91. (228) The act of choosing the window you type is called setting the

Explanation

The act of choosing the window you type is called setting the input focus. When you set the input focus, it means that the window you have chosen is ready to receive your keyboard input. This allows you to type and interact with the selected window, while other windows may be inactive or waiting for input. The term "input focus" refers to the active state of a window where it is ready to accept keyboard input from the user.

Submit
92. (203) What is a way of utilizing a group of storage devices as if they were physically connected to a server when they are not? 

Explanation

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a way of utilizing a group of storage devices as if they were physically connected to a server when they are not. SANs provide block-level access to storage over a high-speed network, allowing multiple servers to access the storage devices simultaneously. This centralized storage architecture offers improved performance, scalability, and flexibility compared to other storage solutions like Network Attached Storage (NAS) or Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). Array storage refers to a collection of storage devices, but it does not specifically address the concept of utilizing them as if they were physically connected to a server.

Submit
93. (230) Which UNIX command does the system administrator need to use to create the manual database prior to users being able to access the man –k command? 

Explanation

The system administrator needs to use the "catman" command to create the manual database before users can access the "man -k" command. The "catman" command is used to create the preformatted manual pages that can be accessed using the "man" command.

Submit
94. (213) Which query is made by one name server to another name server?

Explanation

A non-recursive query is made by one name server to another name server. In this type of query, the requesting name server asks the other name server for the requested information, but if the second name server does not have the information, it will not attempt to find it from other sources. Instead, it will simply respond with a "not found" message. This type of query is commonly used in DNS resolution processes.

Submit
95. (211) Where does a copy of the active directory database reside?

Explanation

A copy of the active directory database resides on domain controllers. Domain controllers are servers that store and manage the active directory database, which contains information about users, groups, computers, and other resources in a Windows domain. The active directory database is replicated across multiple domain controllers in order to provide fault tolerance and ensure that the information is available even if one domain controller fails. Therefore, domain controllers are the correct answer as they are responsible for hosting the active directory database.

Submit
96. (228) In UNIX, which package of programs lets a terminal handle many sessions at once?
