Question 1

A technician is installing a legacy application on Windows 10 and receives an error log indicating 'Access Denied'. Which of the following should the technician do FIRST?

Accepted Answer

Run the installer as Administrator.. Legacy applications often require elevated privileges to install on Windows 10 because they may attempt to write to system directories or registry keys that are protected by User Account Control (UAC). Running the installer as Administrator is the simplest and most common first troubleshooting step to resolve permission-related issues before considering other solutions like missing dependencies or application upgrades.

Answer

Install MSXML6.

Answer

Install .NET Framework 3.5.

Answer

Upgrade the application to a newer version.

Question 2

A small business is expanding and needs to ensure their network infrastructure supports growth. Which THREE practices should they implement?

Accepted Answer

Deploy redundant power supplies for critical devices. Redundant power supplies ensure that critical network devices like switches and routers remain operational even if one power supply fails, minimizing downtime during business expansion. This practice directly supports network availability and growth by providing fault tolerance for essential infrastructure components.

Answer

Use a single subnet for simplicity

Answer

Use static IP addressing for all devices

Question 3

Which THREE of the following are examples of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings? (Select THREE.)

Accepted Answer

Object storage service. Object storage service is an IaaS offering because it provides raw storage resources over the internet, allowing users to store and retrieve data without managing the underlying hardware. In IaaS, the cloud provider handles the physical infrastructure, while the customer controls the storage configuration and access. This aligns with the IaaS model of offering fundamental computing resources like storage, compute, and networking.

Question 6

A small business wants to use a CRM system. They need to access it from mobile devices and desktops without installing software. Which deployment model fits?

Accepted Answer

Software as a Service (SaaS). Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers the CRM application over the internet, allowing users to access it from any device with a web browser without installing software. This model matches the requirement for mobile and desktop access with zero local installation, as the provider hosts and manages the entire application stack.

Answer

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Answer

On-premises

Answer

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Question 7

A user reports that a desktop application crashes every time it tries to save a file to a network drive. Other applications work fine. Which is the MOST likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Insufficient permissions on the network share. The most likely cause is insufficient permissions on the network share (D). When a desktop application crashes specifically during a save operation to a network drive, but other applications work fine, it often indicates that the application lacks the necessary write permissions to the target folder or file. This can trigger an unhandled exception in the application's save routine, leading to a crash, whereas other applications may handle the permission denial gracefully or use different access methods.

Answer

Outdated network driver

Answer

Insufficient local disk space

Answer

Corrupted application installation

Question 8

A developer is writing a script in Python that processes user input. The script needs to execute a block of code repeatedly while a condition is true. Which programming construct should the developer use?

Accepted Answer

while loop. A while loop is the correct construct because it repeatedly executes a block of code as long as a specified condition remains true, re-evaluating the condition before each iteration. This matches the requirement of executing code 'while a condition is true.' The for loop is designed for iterating over a known sequence or range, not for condition-driven repetition.

Answer

for loop

Answer

function

Answer

if/else

Question 9

A gaming enthusiast is building a new PC. They want to install a dedicated graphics card, a network interface card, and a sound card. Which type of expansion slot on the motherboard should these cards be inserted into?

Accepted Answer

PCIe. PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is the modern standard expansion slot for high-performance add-in cards like graphics cards, network interface cards, and sound cards. It provides high bandwidth and is backward compatible with PCI. Thus, D is correct.

Answer

SATA

Answer

M.2

Answer

Question 10

A company wants to manage and secure employee smartphones used for work. Which technology should they implement?

Accepted Answer

MDM. Mobile Device Management (MDM) is the technology designed to enroll, configure, secure, and remotely manage employee smartphones and tablets. It enforces policies such as passcode requirements, encryption, app whitelisting, and remote wipe. This directly addresses the company's need to manage and secure work devices.

Answer

DNS

Answer

VPN

Answer

NAT

Question 11

Based on the exhibit, which type of attack is most likely occurring?

Accepted Answer

Brute force attack. The exhibit shows repeated login attempts with different passwords (e.g., 'password1', 'password2', 'password3') against a single user account. This pattern of systematically trying many passwords to guess credentials is the hallmark of a brute force attack. Unlike a denial-of-service or phishing attack, the goal here is to gain unauthorized access by exhausting possible password combinations.

Answer

Denial-of-service attack

Answer

Phishing attack

Answer

Man-in-the-middle attack

Question 12

A software developer needs to track changes to source code over time. Which type of software should they use?

Accepted Answer

Version control. Version control software (e.g., Git) is specifically designed to track changes to source code over time, allowing developers to manage revisions, collaborate, and revert to previous states. Graphic design software, project management tools, and database management systems do not provide the necessary functionality for source code versioning.

Answer

Project management

Answer

Graphic design

Answer

Database management

Question 13

Which of the following cable types is MOST commonly used for Ethernet networks in an office?

Accepted Answer

Cat5e. Cat5e (Category 5 enhanced) is the most common twisted-pair copper cable used in office Ethernet networks because it supports speeds up to 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T) over distances up to 100 meters, and it is backward-compatible with older 10/100 Mbps standards. Its widespread adoption, low cost, and ease of termination make it the default choice for structured cabling in modern office environments.

Question 14

A user needs to transfer a large collection of documents to a colleague. The documents must retain their exact formatting and be readable without needing the original software used to create them. Which of the following file formats is best suited for this requirement?

Accepted Answer

PDF. The requirement is to preserve exact formatting and allow reading without the original software. PDF is a fixed-layout format that embeds fonts and layout, and it can be opened by many free readers. DOCX may shift formatting, TXT loses formatting entirely, and JPEG is an image format not meant for documents.

Answer

JPEG

Answer

TXT

Answer

DOCX

Question 15

A developer is learning version control. Which THREE of the following are core Git concepts? (Select 3)

Accepted Answer

Branch. Option B (Branch) is correct because a branch in Git is a lightweight movable pointer to a commit, allowing parallel lines of development that can later be merged. Option D (Repository) is correct because the repository (.git directory plus working tree) is the core data store holding all objects, refs, and history that Git operates on. Option E (Commit) is correct because a commit is Git's fundamental snapshot object recording a tree, parent commit(s), author, and message, forming the history graph. Options A (Debugger) and C (Compiler) are incorrect because they are software development tools unrelated to Git's version-control model; Git neither debugs nor compiles code.

Answer

Debugger

Answer

Compiler
