5. To completely close a file, click on the ___________ in the upper right-hand corner.

Explanation

To completely close a file, you need to click on the "X" or "x" button in the upper right-hand corner. This button is typically used to exit or close a window or application. By clicking on this button, you are indicating that you want to close the file and remove it from your screen.

6. The information on your computer is organized into ___________ and _____________ .

Explanation

The correct answer is "files and folders." This is because the information on a computer is typically organized into files, which contain data or programs, and folders, which are used to organize and store files in a hierarchical structure. Both files and folders are essential components of organizing and managing data on a computer.

Submit
7. On your computer screen, all folders and files are represented by images called  ___________ .

Explanation

On a computer screen, folders and files are represented by small graphical images called icons. Icons are visual representations that help users identify and access different folders and files on their computer. They are designed to be intuitive and easily recognizable, often depicting a simplified image or symbol that represents the content or function of the folder or file it represents. Icons play a crucial role in graphical user interfaces, making it easier for users to navigate and interact with their computer system.

8. When you use a mouse right-click, what usually appears?  Another _____________ .

Explanation

Submit
9. To make a window full size, click on the _____________ icon in the upper right-hand corner.

Explanation

To make a window full size, you need to click on the "maximize" icon in the upper right-hand corner. This icon is usually represented by a square or a set of arrows pointing outward. It is not clear why the answer options include "boxes" and "double box" as they do not relate to the action of maximizing a window.

Submit
10. A program is neither a file nor a folder.  True or False?

Explanation

A program is not a file or a folder because it is a set of instructions or code that can be stored in a file or a folder, but it is not the same as the file or folder itself. A program needs to be executed or run by a computer or device in order to perform its intended functions, whereas a file is a container for storing data and a folder is a container for organizing files. Therefore, a program is separate from the file or folder that contains it.
