Question 1<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
In a situation where a handicapped person can only input data into the computer using a stylus or light pen, which keyboard configuration might be the solution?<\/p>\n
\u00a0A keyboard with internal lighting to support work in low-light conditions.<\/p>\n
\u00a0A keypad that is projected on an external flat surface.<\/p>\n
\u00a0A flat waterproof keyboard.<\/p>\n
\u00a0A split-style keyboard that separates and angles groups of keys into right- and left-hand portions.<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. This seems to be the best solution since the user could use the stylus or light pen to tap on the displayed keys.<\/p>\n
Question 2<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
If you use your desktop computer only for doing schoolwork, which input and output device combination would be best from the options below (considering the best combination of cost, screen resolution, and keyboard design)?<\/p>\n
\u00a0a gaming keyboard and a 27″ LCD monitor<\/p>\n
\u00a0a foldable keyboard and a 15″ LCD monitor<\/p>\n
\u00a0a wireless keyboard and a 24″ LED monitor<\/p>\n
\u00a0a split-style keyboard and a 30″ LED monitor<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. The wireless keyboard will work nicely in this situation; and the LED monitor is a very good size.<\/p>\n
Question 3<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
You need to back up (make copies of) your critical documents and pictures on your desktop. Which of the following statements would be true for using cloud storage for backups in case your computer experiences a complete failure (will not boot and all files have been lost from the internal hard drive)?<\/p>\n
\u00a0If your desktop computer or your internal hard drive is not functioning, you can still access those backed up files via another computer with access to the internet.<\/p>\n
\u00a0You would not need to carry external storage media with you when you use another computer.<\/p>\n
\u00a0When data is distributed (stored on multiple external websites) there is greater risk of unauthorized physical access to the data.<\/p>\n
\u00a0All of the above.<\/p>\n
\u00a0None of the above.<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. All three statements are true as applied to cloud storage.<\/p>\n
Question 4<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
Which device would not be appropriate for holding data, instructions, and information for future use?<\/p>\n
\u00a08Gb RAM<\/p>\n
\u00a01Tb external hard drive.<\/p>\n
\u00a0CD or DVD<\/p>\n
\u00a0Cloud storage<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. RAM is volatile memory, and all data and instructions will be lost when the computer is turned off.<\/p>\n
Question 5<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
Which device would be used to hold data, instructions, and information for future use?<\/p>\n
\u00a0flash drive<\/p>\n
\u00a0cloud storage<\/p>\n
\u00a0hard drive<\/p>\n
\u00a0none of the above; these are volatile storage devices<\/p>\n
\u00a0all of the above; these are nonvolatile storage devices<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. Flash drives, cloud storage, and hard drives are all examples of nonvolatile storage devices.<\/p>\n
Question 6<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
Which of the following can be considered an output device?<\/p>\n
\u00a0stylus<\/p>\n
\u00a0speaker<\/p>\n
\u00a0wireless mouse<\/p>\n
\u00a0microphone<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. The speaker is used to provide sound data to the user. It is an output device.<\/p>\n
Question 7<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
In this diagram of a simple home network, what appears to be missing?<\/p>\n
\u00a0a server<\/p>\n
\u00a0an adapter card<\/p>\n
\u00a0a modem<\/p>\n
\u00a0a router<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. Even though this is a wired network, data needs to be sent from and received by the correct computer. The router handles this task.<\/p>\n
Question 8<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a00\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
In this diagram of a simple home network, what appears to be missing?<\/p>\n
\u00a0a router<\/p>\n
\u00a0a server<\/p>\n
\u00a0an adapter card<\/p>\n
\u00a0a modem<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Incorrect. Adapter cards are certainly needed, but they are internal components in each computer and, as such, would not be represented in a diagram of the network<\/p>\n
Question 9<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
If you are going to install a completely wireless network in your home, each computer must have:<\/p>\n
\u00a0a router<\/p>\n
\u00a0an Ethernet card<\/p>\n
\u00a0a modem<\/p>\n
\u00a0a wireless adapter card<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. This internal component must be found in each computer that needs to connect to the router, and then to the Internet via the modem.<\/p>\n
Question 10<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
If you are going to network two computers together using cable connections, each computer must have:<\/p>\n
\u00a0a modem<\/p>\n
\u00a0an Ethernet interface card<\/p>\n
\u00a0a router<\/p>\n
\u00a0a wireless adapter card<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. Ethernet interface cards are required to suppport the Ethernet cables which connect the two machine.<\/p>\n
Question 11<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
How is data entered into the computer?<\/p>\n
\u00a0using the circuit board that interfaces with all external components attached to the CPU<\/p>\n
\u00a0using an electronic device that controls the timing of all peripherals connected to the system unit<\/p>\n
\u00a0using any type of hardware component that conveys information to one or more people<\/p>\n
\u00a0using a hardware component that allows submission of data or instructions.<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. A keyboard, a mouse, a stylus, and a microphone are examples of hardware components that allow the user to enter data or instructions into the computer.<\/p>\n
Question 12<\/p>\n
Points:\u00a010\u00a0out of 10<\/p>\n
A webcam would be considered an input device.<\/p>\n
\u00a0True<\/p>\n
\u00a0False<\/p>\n
Feedback<\/p>\n
Correct. A webcam takes an image as input. The webcam itself does not display the image (that is done by an output device such as a monitor).<\/p>\n
