220-1201 Practice Test 8 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A sales representative reports that their tablet's screen becomes unresponsive when they try to use it with a capacitive stylus. They need to annotate documents during client meetings. Which accessory should you recommend to resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

A fine-point capacitive stylus. Capacitive touchscreens require a conductive stylus to register touch. A fine-point capacitive stylus provides the necessary conductivity and precision for annotation, unlike a passive stylus or a Bluetooth keyboard which won't affect touch input.

Answer

A Bluetooth keyboard

Answer

A screen protector

Answer

A passive stylus with a rubber tip

Question 2

A user wants to connect their smartphone to a hotel TV to stream a presentation during a conference. The TV has only an HDMI port and no wireless capabilities. Which accessory is most appropriate for this task?

Accepted Answer

An MHL-to-HDMI adapter. An MHL or SlimPort adapter converts the smartphone's USB-C or micro-USB output to HDMI, enabling video and audio output to an external display. A USB hub, Bluetooth speaker, or wireless display adapter would not directly connect to a wired HDMI port.

Answer

A USB-C to USB-A hub

Answer

A Bluetooth speaker

Answer

A wireless display adapter like Chromecast

Question 3

A field technician frequently uses a ruggedized tablet outdoors for data collection. They complain that the screen is hard to read in direct sunlight. Which accessory would best improve screen visibility without adding significant bulk?

Accepted Answer

An anti-glare screen protector. An anti-glare screen protector reduces reflections and improves readability in bright environments. A privacy filter, while reducing glare, also restricts viewing angles, which is not the primary need. A portable monitor or external battery do not address screen readability.

Answer

A privacy filter

Answer

A portable external monitor

Answer

An external battery pack

Question 4

A marketing team uses tablets to capture customer signatures on glass screen protectors. They report that the capacitive stylus often skips or fails to register strokes near the edges of the screen. After testing, you find the issue persists even without the protector. Which accessory should you recommend to improve stylus precision?

Accepted Answer

A fine-tip active stylus. A fine-tip active stylus uses a digitizer layer for precise input, unlike passive capacitive styluses that rely on conductivity and can be inaccurate. A screen protector or Bluetooth keyboard won't address stylus accuracy, and a different capacitive stylus may still have the same issue.

Answer

A tempered glass screen protector with an oleophobic coating

Answer

A Bluetooth keyboard

Answer

A different passive capacitive stylus with a larger tip

Question 5

A user connects a USB-C docking station to their laptop and finds that the external monitor works, but the Ethernet port on the dock does not provide network connectivity. The laptop's built-in Wi-Fi works fine. Which is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The docking station's Ethernet driver is not installed. USB-C docks often require driver installation for Ethernet functionality. If the driver is missing, the network adapter won't be recognized. A faulty cable or disabled port could also cause issues, but driver issues are common. The monitor working confirms the dock's power and video pass-through are functional.

Answer

The Ethernet cable is faulty

Answer

The USB-C port on the laptop is damaged

Answer

The laptop's Wi-Fi is interfering with Ethernet

Question 6

A customer wants to use a portable projector with their smartphone for impromptu presentations. The smartphone has a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Which accessory will enable this connection?

Accepted Answer

A USB-C to HDMI adapter. A USB-C to HDMI adapter leverages the smartphone's DisplayPort Alt Mode to output video to the projector's HDMI input. A USB-C hub with HDMI would also work, but a direct adapter is the simplest. A wireless adapter or USB-C to USB-A cable cannot carry video signals.

Answer

A USB-C to USB-A adapter

Answer

A Bluetooth audio receiver

Answer

A wireless HDMI dongle

Question 7

A user reports that their laptop's battery drains quickly when connected to a USB-C docking station, even when the laptop is plugged into the dock's power delivery port. The dock supports 60W power delivery, but the laptop requires 65W. What is the most likely issue?

Accepted Answer

The dock's power delivery is insufficient for the laptop. If the power delivery from the dock is less than the laptop's requirement, the laptop will draw power from both the dock and its battery, causing it to discharge slowly. This is a common issue when using underpowered chargers. A faulty battery or high-performance settings could contribute but are not the primary cause.

Answer

The laptop's battery is failing

Answer

The USB-C cable is not rated for power delivery

Answer

The laptop is running high-performance mode

Question 8

A technician is setting up a mobile workstation for a graphic designer who uses a laptop with a USB-C port that supports Thunderbolt 3. The designer needs to connect two 4K monitors, a wired Ethernet connection, and charge the laptop simultaneously. Which accessory should the technician choose?

Accepted Answer

A Thunderbolt 3 docking station. A Thunderbolt 3 docking station provides high bandwidth (40 Gbps) to support dual 4K displays, Ethernet, and power delivery over a single cable. A USB-C hub may not have enough bandwidth for dual 4K output, and a USB-C to HDMI adapter alone cannot provide Ethernet or charging. A KVM switch is for sharing peripherals between computers, not for this purpose.

Answer

A USB-C to dual HDMI adapter

Answer

A USB 3.0 hub with HDMI and Ethernet

Answer

A KVM switch

Question 9

A user complains that their wireless Bluetooth earbuds frequently disconnect during calls when their smartphone is in their pocket. The earbuds work fine when the phone is on a desk. Which accessory or configuration change is most likely to resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

A Bluetooth neckband style headset. Bluetooth signal can be blocked by the human body, especially when the phone is in a pocket. Using a Bluetooth neckband or headset with an external antenna can improve signal reception. A Bluetooth signal booster or case may help, but a neckband physically positions the receiver closer to the phone. Wi-Fi interference is less likely given the scenario.

Answer

A Bluetooth signal booster app

Answer

A metal phone case

Answer

A Wi-Fi analyzer to change router channels

Question 10

A user wants to use a portable SSD with their tablet for video editing. The tablet has a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2. They need to transfer large files quickly and also charge the tablet simultaneously. Which accessory should they use?

Accepted Answer

A USB-C hub with power delivery pass-through. A USB-C hub with power delivery (PD) pass-through allows the tablet to be charged while connecting the SSD at full speed. A direct USB-C to USB-C cable would not allow simultaneous charging. A USB-A adapter would limit speed, and a wireless SSD would introduce latency and require separate power.

Answer

A USB-C to USB-C cable

Answer

A USB-C to USB-A adapter

Answer

A wireless SSD with Bluetooth 5.0
