Question 2

Which TWO of the following are examples of system software?

Accepted Answer

Device driver. Device drivers are system software because they provide a low-level interface between the operating system and hardware components, translating generic OS commands into device-specific instructions. The operating system itself is the core system software that manages hardware resources, runs applications, and provides essential services. Both are fundamental to the computer's operation, not end-user productivity tasks.

Word processor

Answer

Web browser

Photo editor

Question 3

A company is setting up a new branch office. The network administrator needs to choose a wireless standard and a frequency band. Which TWO of the following options would provide the fastest speeds and least interference? (Select TWO.)

Question 4

A user wants to synchronize files across multiple devices, including an iPhone, a Windows laptop, and an Android tablet. Which TWO cloud services would be most effective for this cross-platform syncing?

Accepted Answer

OneDrive. iCloud works well across Apple devices and Windows, but not Android easily. Google Drive works on all platforms. OneDrive works on all platforms too. But the question asks for TWO. iCloud and Google Drive are cross-platform, but iCloud has limited Android support. Actually, iCloud does not sync with Android directly. Google Drive works on all. OneDrive works on all. So the best two are Google Drive and OneDrive. However, the stem includes iPhone, so iCloud is native but not Android. So the answer should be Google Drive and OneDrive. But I'll reconsider: Many users use iCloud and Google Drive. However, iCloud on Android is not as seamless. The ITF+ likely expects common cloud services: iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive. But for cross-platform, Google Drive and OneDrive are better. I'll choose Google Drive and OneDrive. Explanation: Both work on iOS, Windows, and Android.

Higher initial capital expenditure

Question 9

A database designer is normalizing a table that contains repeating groups (multiple values in one column). Which of the following are goals of normalization? (Select THREE.)

Accepted Answer

Eliminate update anomalies. Normalization aims to reduce redundancy, enforce data integrity, and eliminate update anomalies. It rarely improves query performance (often may reduce it due to more joins).

Answer

Improve query performance

Question 10

A university database includes tables: 'Professors' (ProfessorID, Name, Department) and 'Courses' (CourseID, Title, ProfessorID). Which THREE statements about this design are correct?

Accepted Answer

The primary key of Professors is ProfessorID.. ProfessorID in Courses is a foreign key; many courses can have the same professor (one-to-many); the primary key of Professors is ProfessorID.

Answer

The primary key of Professors is CourseID.

Answer

The relationship between Professors and Courses is many-to-many.

Question 11

Which TWO of the following are examples of volatile memory?

Accepted Answer

RAM. RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile because it requires constant electrical power to retain data; once the system is powered off, all stored information is lost. This characteristic makes RAM ideal for temporary storage of actively used data and program instructions during operation.

Answer

Converts ISP signal to digital

Question 13

Which THREE of the following are common types of network topologies? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Star. Star, bus, and ring are three of the most common physical network topologies defined in networking standards. In a star topology, all devices connect to a central switch or hub, which manages traffic and isolates failures to individual links. Bus topology uses a single backbone cable with terminators at both ends, while ring topology passes data sequentially from one node to the next using a token-passing mechanism (e.g., Token Ring per IEEE 802.5).

Answer

Circle

Answer

Square

Question 14
