FC0-U71 Practice Test 5 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A technician installs a new network printer. It can communicate with other computers on the same network but no one outside the network can access it. What is the MOST likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Firewall blocking external traffic. A firewall is designed to control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. If the printer can communicate locally but not with external networks, the most likely cause is that the firewall is blocking inbound traffic from outside the local subnet, preventing external devices from reaching the printer's IP address or port.

Answer

Incorrect printer driver

Answer

No IP address configured

Answer

Faulty Ethernet cable

Question 2

A user reports that a spreadsheet application crashes every time they try to open a specific file. The file was created in a newer version of the software. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The file was saved in a format incompatible with the installed version.. The most likely cause of a crash when opening a file created in a newer version of the software is a format incompatibility. Newer versions often use updated file formats (e.g., .xlsx vs. .xls in Excel) that older versions cannot parse correctly, leading to application instability or crashes. This is a common scenario in backward compatibility issues, where the installed software lacks the necessary codecs or schema to interpret the file's structure.

Answer

The computer does not have enough RAM.

Answer

The file is corrupted.

Answer

The user does not have permission to access the file.

Question 4

A server has four hard drives configured in RAID 5. One drive fails. What must the technician do to restore full redundancy?

Accepted Answer

Replace the failed drive and rebuild the array. RAID 5 uses distributed parity across all drives, allowing the array to tolerate a single drive failure without data loss. When a drive fails, the technician must replace the failed drive and then rebuild the array, during which the RAID controller reconstructs the missing data from the parity information on the remaining drives. This restores full redundancy by returning the array to a fault-tolerant state.

Answer

Replace all drives and reconfigure RAID

Answer

Simply replace the drive with a larger capacity drive

Answer

Replace the failed drive and restore from backup

Question 5

A graphic designer needs a component to accelerate rendering of 3D models. Which of the following computer hardware components is specifically designed for this purpose?

Accepted Answer

GPU. A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is purpose-built with thousands of parallel shader cores optimized for the matrix and vector math used in 3D rendering, making it the correct component to accelerate model rendering. CPUs can render 3D graphics but far more slowly because they have fewer, more general-purpose cores. RAM and SSDs affect capacity and load times, not rendering throughput.

Answer

RAM

Answer

SSD

Answer

CPU

Question 6

A user wants to upgrade their workstation's storage without losing existing data. Which of the following is the BEST method?

Accepted Answer

Clone the existing drive to the new one. Cloning the existing drive to the new one creates an exact bit-for-bit copy of the original drive, including the operating system, applications, settings, and all data. This allows the user to simply swap the drives and boot normally without any data loss or reinstallation. It is the most direct method that preserves the existing environment intact.

Answer

Perform a clean installation on the new drive

Answer

Back up data to external drive, then restore

Answer

Set up a RAID 1 array

Question 7

Which of the following character encodings can represent characters from virtually all written languages?

Accepted Answer

Unicode/UTF-8. Unicode (UTF-8) is variable-width and supports all languages.

Answer

EBCDIC

Answer

Extended ASCII

Answer

ASCII

Question 8

A programmer needs to store a true/false value. Which data type is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Boolean. A Boolean data type is specifically designed to store true/false values, representing binary logic states. In most programming languages, including Python, Java, and C++, a Boolean variable can only hold one of two values: true or false, making it the most appropriate choice for this requirement.

Answer

Integer

Answer

String

Answer

Float

Question 9

Which of the following file extensions is associated with a compressed archive file?

Accepted Answer

.zip. .zip is a common compressed archive format.

Answer

.exe

Answer

.jpg

Answer

.docx

Question 10

A company requires all employees to use a smart card and a PIN to access the building. This is an example of which concept?

Accepted Answer

Multi-factor authentication. Multi-factor authentication combines something you have (smart card) and something you know (PIN).

Answer

Authorization

Answer

Biometrics

Answer

Single sign-on
