    • The everyday programs you use

    • Programs that are rarely used

    • Programs made specifically for a client

    Correct Answer
    A. The everyday programs you use
    Explanation
    The correct definition of Application Software is the everyday programs you use. Application software refers to computer programs that are designed to perform specific tasks or functions for the user. These programs are commonly used in various areas such as productivity, communication, entertainment, and education. They are different from system software, which includes the operating system and other essential components that enable the computer to function. Application software is typically user-friendly and provides a range of features and functionalities to enhance user experience and productivity.

    Google has a free open-source program, which means that it offers a program that is both free of cost and open to the public for modification and distribution.

    Which of the following AREN'T applications

    • Drivers

    • USB

    • Games

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. USB
    A. Games
    Explanation
    USB and Games are not applications because they are not software programs that perform specific tasks or functions on a computer or device. USB refers to a universal serial bus, which is a hardware interface used for connecting devices to a computer. Games, on the other hand, are forms of entertainment or recreational activities that are typically played on a computer or gaming console. While drivers can be considered applications, as they are software programs that enable communication between hardware devices and the operating system.

    Software only works when there is Hardware

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because software can also work without hardware. Software refers to the programs and applications that are installed on a computer or device, while hardware refers to the physical components of the computer or device. While hardware is necessary for software to run, software can still function on its own without the presence of physical hardware. For example, software can be developed and tested on virtual machines or emulators without the need for physical hardware. Additionally, software can also be stored and executed on cloud servers, eliminating the need for local hardware.
