Select Two (Multi-Select) Questions

Hard Drive

Why wrong: Hard drives are non-volatile storage.

SSD

Why wrong: SSDs are non-volatile storage.

ROM

Why wrong: ROM is non-volatile.

Check the DHCP server for available IP addresses.

Why wrong: DHCP issues would affect multiple devices.

Update the network adapter driver.

Why wrong: Driver update is not a first step.

Restart the wireless router.

Why wrong: Other devices are working, so router is not the issue.

Video editing software

Why wrong: Video editing is a specialized multimedia tool, not general productivity.

Graphic design software

Why wrong: Graphic design is a specialized creative application, not general productivity.

Database management system

Why wrong: DBMS is used for data management, not typical office productivity.

Procedural programming

Why wrong: Procedural programming is a different paradigm, not specific to OOP.

Polymorphism

Why wrong: Polymorphism is an OOP concept, but only TWO are required, and we already have two correct answers.

Functional programming

Why wrong: Functional programming is a different paradigm, not OOP.

Schema flexibility

Why wrong: Schema flexibility is typically an advantage of NoSQL, not relational databases.

Low latency for large volumes

Why wrong: NoSQL databases are often optimized for low latency with large volumes.

Horizontal scalability

Why wrong: NoSQL databases often scale horizontally better than relational databases.

Use composite primary keys excessively

Why wrong: Excessive composite keys can complicate design; normalization does not require them.

Create separate tables for each attribute

Why wrong: This is over-normalization and impractical.

Table is too large

Why wrong: Large tables may cause performance issues but not syntax errors.

Index is missing

Why wrong: Missing indexes slow queries but do not cause errors.

Network is slow

Why wrong: Slow network affects performance, not query execution errors.

Adware

Why wrong: Adware is a type of malware that displays unwanted advertisements, not a social engineering attack.

Spoofing

Why wrong: Spoofing is a technical attack where an attacker masquerades as another device or user, not primarily a social engineering technique.

Shoulder surfing

Why wrong: Shoulder surfing is indeed a social engineering attack, but the question asks for exactly two correct answers; the intended correct pair is phishing and tailgating. In this version, shoulder surfing is incorrect to achieve exactly two correct.

The code is executed line-by-line by an interpreter.

Why wrong: This describes interpreted languages, not compiled ones.

Variables do not need to be declared before use.

Why wrong: Compiled languages like C and Java require explicit declaration.

The source code is compiled every time the program runs.

Why wrong: Compilation is done once; the executable is reused.

The database uses a hierarchical model.

Why wrong: Hierarchical model is an older model, not relational.

The database is schema-less and flexible.

Why wrong: Schema-less is characteristic of NoSQL, not relational databases.

Data is stored as JSON documents.

Why wrong: JSON documents are used in document-oriented NoSQL databases.

Grant full administrative access to a single IT administrator

Why wrong: This concentrates excessive privileges and violates least privilege.

Allow users to request temporary elevation of privileges for specific tasks

Why wrong: This is a separate control (just-in-time access) but does not directly implement least privilege; it can be part of an overall strategy but is not the primary action.

Remove all permissions from users and add them back only when requested

Why wrong: This approach is impractical and would disrupt work; it is not a recommended method.

Reinstall the web browser application.

Why wrong: Reinstalling is a last resort, not an initial diagnostic step.

Clear the browser cache and cookies.

Why wrong: Clearing cache is a potential fix but not a diagnostic step.

Update the operating system to the latest version.

Why wrong: Updating the OS may resolve underlying issues but is not a direct diagnostic step for a browser-specific problem.

Use a common pattern like 'password123'

Why wrong: Common patterns are easily guessed.

Use easily remembered personal information like birth dates

Why wrong: Personal information can be guessed or obtained.

Write the password on a sticky note and attach it to the monitor

Why wrong: Writing down passwords compromises security.

Schema-less design allows flexible data structures

Why wrong: Relational databases have a fixed schema.

Uses a document-based model like JSON

Why wrong: Document-based is NoSQL, not relational.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Why wrong: VPN is a secure connection technology, not a cloud service model.

Local Area Network (LAN)

Why wrong: LAN is a network type, not a cloud service model.

On-Premises

Why wrong: On-Premises is not a cloud service model; it is traditional IT.

Increased hardware reliability

Why wrong: Reliability depends on hardware, not virtualization.

Enhanced physical security

Why wrong: Physical security is not directly improved.

Simplified network configuration

Why wrong: Virtual networking adds complexity.

Top-down design

Why wrong: Top-down design is a structured programming approach, not an OOP characteristic.

Sequential execution

Why wrong: Sequential execution is not exclusive to OOP; it applies to most programs.

Allowing remote access from any IP address for flexibility

Why wrong: Allowing any IP is too permissive; should be restricted to needed addresses.

Granting DBA privileges to all developers for convenience

Why wrong: DBA privileges exceed what developers need, violating least privilege.

Adobe Photoshop

Why wrong: Photoshop is a graphics editing application.

Google Chrome

Why wrong: Chrome is a web browser.

Microsoft Office

Why wrong: Office is a suite of productivity applications.

Enabling WEP encryption

Why wrong: WEP is easily cracked.

Changing the default IP address range

Why wrong: Does not secure wireless communication.
