Explanation
A keyboard is an input device. It is used to enter data and commands
into a computer or other electronic devices. By pressing the keys on a
keyboard, users can input text, numbers, and various commands, which
the computer then processes. The keyboard translates these keystrokes
into signals that the computer's processor can understand. This
functionality makes the keyboard an essential tool for interacting with a
computer, allowing users to perform a wide range of tasks, from typing
documents to executing complex commands. Understanding the role of
input devices like keyboards is fundamental to using and operating
computers effectively.

Correct Answer
A. Random Access Memory

Explanation
RAM, also known as Random Access Memory, is a type of computer
memory that allows data to be read from and written to in any order,
regardless of the physical location of the data. It is a volatile memory,
meaning that its contents are lost when the power is turned off. RAM is
an essential component of a computer system as it provides temporary
storage for data and instructions that are actively being used by the
CPU. It allows for fast access to data, enabling efficient multitasking and
overall system performance.

All of the above

Correct Answer
A. Connecting a computer to a monitor

Explanation
A VGA (Video Graphics Array) cable is specifically designed to transmit
analog video signals. It's that cable with the 15-pin connector, often
blue, that you used to see connecting computers to monitors. While
newer digital interfaces like HDMI and DisplayPort are more common
now, VGA was the standard for many years. It's important to note that
 VGA only carries video signals, not audio or data. So, it can't be used
for internet connections, which require Ethernet cables, or for
connecting USB flash drives, which have their own dedicated ports.

A.

1024 MB

B.

1028 MB

C.

256 MB

D.
 1012 MB

Correct Answer
A. 1024 MB

Explanation
1 GB (gigabyte) is equal to 1024 MB (megabytes). In computing, data
storage is commonly measured in binary units, where each unit is a
power of 2. A gigabyte is defined as 210 megabytes, which equals 1024
megabytes. This binary measurement system is based on the binary
numeral system used by computers, where each increase in unit size
represents an exponential increase in the amount of data storage.
Understanding these conversions is essential for managing and
understanding data storage capacities in computers and other digital
devices.

ROM

B.

RAM

o
 C.

Cache Memory

D.

All of the above

Correct Answer
A. ROM

Explanation
ROM (Read-Only Memory) is an example of non-volatile memory. Non-
volatile memory retains its data even when the power is turned off,
making it ideal for storing firmware and important system instructions
that must persist across reboots. RAM (Random Access Memory) and
Cache Memory, on the other hand, are volatile types of memory, which
means they lose their data when the power is turned off. ROM is used in
various applications within a computer, such as storing the BIOS, which
is essential for booting up the system and performing initial hardware
checks and configurations. Understanding the difference between
volatile and non-volatile memory is crucial for comprehending how
computer systems manage and retain data.

In a simple home wired network what device would
you use to provide more
unmanaged/routed Ethernet ports?

A.

Switch

B.

Hub
 o

C.

Router

D.

KVM

Correct Answer
A. Switch

Explanation
A switch is the correct answer because it is a device used to
connect multiple devices in a network, allowing them to
communicate with each other. It provides more Ethernet ports,
which can be used to connect additional devices to the
network. Unlike a hub, a switch can intelligently direct network
traffic to the appropriate device, improving efficiency and
performance. A router, on the other hand, is used to connect
multiple networks together and manage the flow of data
between them. A KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) is a device
used to control multiple computers using a single set of
peripherals.

Can 32-bit programs run on a 64-bit version of
Windows 7?

A.

Yes

B.

No

Correct Answer
A. Yes

Explanation
32-bit programs can run on a 64-bit version of Windows 7
because Windows 7 64-bit includes a compatibility layer called
Windows on Windows 64 (WoW64) that allows 32-bit programs
to run seamlessly. This compatibility layer enables the
operating system to run 32-bit applications by redirecting the
necessary system files and resources. Therefore, users can run
 their existing 32-bit programs on a 64-bit version of Windows 7
without any issues.

E.

Either Is Equally Possible

Correct Answer
E. Either Is Equally Possible

Explanation
The answer "Either Is Equally Possible" is correct because a
BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) can be caused by both hardware
and software issues. Hardware problems such as faulty RAM,
overheating, or incompatible hardware drivers can trigger a
BSOD. Similarly, software issues like incompatible or corrupted
software, driver conflicts, or malware can also lead to a BSOD.
Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether a BSOD is
solely a hardware or software problem without further

In the field of cybersecurity, what does the term
"phishing" specifically refer to?

A.

The practice of sending emails that appear to be from

reputable sources with the goal of gaining personal
information.

B.

Creating a duplicate of an existing web page to trick

users into submitting personal or financial information.

Correct Answer
A. The practice of sending emails that appear to be from
reputable sources with the goal of gaining personal
information.

Explanation
Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to
steal user data, including login credentials and credit card
numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a
trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant
message, or text message. The recipient is then tricked into
clicking a malicious link, which can lead to the installation of
malware, the freezing of the system as part of a ransomware
attack, or the revealing of sensitive information. This method is
distinct from other attacks like denial-of-service attacks or
vulnerability scanning, making it a unique and common threat
in the field of cybersecurity.

D.

Router has burnt out

Correct Answer
C. DNS problem

Explanation
If you are able to access a website using its direct IP address
but not through its web URL, the most likely problem is a DNS
(Domain Name System) issue. DNS is responsible for
translating human-readable domain names into IP addresses
that computers can understand. If the DNS is not functioning
properly, it may not be able to resolve the web URL to the
correct IP address, resulting in the inability to access the
website through the URL.
