    What is RAM?

    • A place to store files

    • The memory of the computer

    • The circuit board of the computer

    Correct Answer
    A. The memory of the computer
    Explanation
    RAM stands for Random Access Memory, which is a type of computer memory that is used to store data that is currently being used by the computer. It is a volatile memory, meaning that it is temporary and gets erased when the computer is turned off. RAM is responsible for storing and providing quick access to data that the computer needs to perform tasks and run programs. It allows the computer to efficiently retrieve and manipulate data, making it an essential component for the overall performance and speed of the computer.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Viruses can indeed attack a computer when it is idle. When a computer is idle, it is not actively being used or monitored, making it vulnerable to attacks. Viruses can be downloaded or installed during this time through various means such as malicious websites, email attachments, or infected files. It is important to have antivirus software installed and regularly updated to protect against these attacks, even when the computer is not in use.

  • 11. 

    What kind of disk does the computer use to boot into Windows?

    • Memory

    • Floppy

    • Hard Drive

    • CD

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard Drive
    Explanation
    The computer uses a hard drive to boot into Windows. A hard drive is a non-volatile storage device that stores and retrieves digital information using magnetic storage and rotating platters. It is the primary storage device in most computers and contains the operating system, applications, and user data. When the computer is turned on, it reads the necessary files from the hard drive to start the Windows operating system.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What happens to your files when you format a hard drive?

    • They get backed up

    • They get Erased

    • Nothing Happens

    Correct Answer
    A. They get Erased
    Explanation
    When you format a hard drive, all the files stored on it are erased. Formatting a hard drive means that the file system is reinitialized, and any existing data is overwritten or deleted. This process prepares the hard drive to be used again by removing all the previous data and creating a fresh file system. Therefore, formatting a hard drive is not a recommended method of backing up files, as it permanently deletes them.

    A. DVI
    Explanation
    VGA and DVI are both types of monitor connections. VGA (Video Graphics Array) is an analog connection commonly used for connecting monitors to computers. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a digital connection that provides a higher quality video signal compared to VGA. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a type of connection used for connecting external devices such as hard drives or scanners, not specifically for monitors. RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory and not a monitor connection.

ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is a standard interface for connecting storage devices to the computer. IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) is an older type of hard drive that uses an interface to connect to the computer. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a high-performance interface used for connecting multiple devices, including hard drives, to a computer.
