Question 1

Technology consumables are those items that allow you to use your equipment effectively.

Accepted Answer

Technology consumables are items such as ink cartridges, toner, batteries, and cables that are needed for electronic devices to function properly. Without these consumables, the equipment cannot be used effectively. Technology consumables such as printer ink, paper, batteries, and USB cables are essential for the proper functioning of electronic devices.

Question 2

Software is the general term for information that is:&#10;A) used to house many operating programs&#10;B) used to lighten the dynamics of the office environment&#10;C) recorded onto some kind of medium or device&#10;D) recorded onto a software device

Accepted Answer

Software is information that is recorded onto some kind of medium or device, such as a CD, flash drive, or hard drive. Options A and D refer to specific types of software storage, while option B does not accurately describe what software is. Software refers to the programs and data that are recorded onto a medium or device, such as a hard drive or CD-ROM. It is not the same thing as the hardware or physical components of a computer. Option A is incorrect because software does not "house" programs, but rather is the programs themselves. Option B is incorrect because software may or may not have an impact on the dynamics of the office environment. Option D is redundant, as software is inherently recorded onto a software device.

Question 3

A regular maintenance program for technological equipment consists of:&#10;A) periodic changes to how the equipment operates&#10;B) backing up computer systems at home&#10;C) in-house cleaning and servicing of equipment&#10;D) sending it back to the manufacturer

Accepted Answer

Regular maintenance program for technological equipment includes in-house cleaning and servicing of equipment to ensure that it functions properly and efficiently. Option A is incorrect because periodic changes can create instability and malfunctions. Option B is incorrect because backing up computer systems is not considered equipment maintenance. Option D is inefficient because sending equipment back to the manufacturer can be time-consuming and expensive. A regular maintenance program for technological equipment should include in-house cleaning and servicing of equipment to ensure that it operates efficiently and effectively. Periodic changes to how the equipment operates may be necessary in some cases, but they should not be a part of routine maintenance. Backing up computer systems at home is important, but it is not directly related to equipment maintenance. Sending equipment back to the manufacturer may be necessary for repairs, but it is not a part of regular maintenance.

Question 4

You can use graphics software to:&#10;A) resize images, crop dusting and change shapes of images&#10;B) crop images, resize images and change the colour and shape of images&#10;C) resize images, change formulas and crop images&#10;D) crop images, resize work areas and change colours

Accepted Answer

Graphics software can be used to crop images, resize them and change their colour and shape. This is the most common and essential use of graphics software in creating and manipulating images. The other options mentioned in the answer choices are not relevant to the capabilities of graphics software. Graphics software can be used to crop, resize and change the color and shape of images. These are some of the most common tasks performed with graphics software. Option A and D are both partly correct but do not cover all the possible tasks that can be done with graphics software. Option C is not correct as graphics software is not used to change formulas.

Question 5

If manufacturer's instructions are not followed and the equipment is improved, the manufacturer has the rights to the improvements.

Accepted Answer

If the manufacturer's instructions are not followed and the equipment is improved, the person who made the improvements has the rights to them. The manufacturer cannot claim ownership of the improvements since they were not involved in making them. If manufacturer's instructions are not followed and the equipment is improved, the improvements belong to the person or entity who owns the equipment, not the manufacturer.

Question 6

Information to be processed may be in the form of:&#10;A) handwritten notes taken during a meeting&#10;B) a report&#10;C) accounts information&#10;D) all of these choices

Accepted Answer

All of these choices can be forms of information that need to be processed. Handwritten notes taken during a meeting may need to be transcribed or typed up for distribution. A report may need to be analyzed and summarized. Accounts information may need to be entered and reconciled in a financial system. Processing all of these forms of information may be necessary for a business or organization to operate efficiently. All of these choices (handwritten notes, reports, and accounts information) may need to be processed depending on the task or goal at hand.

Question 7

It is important to store files in a way that allows only the management to have full access to them.

Accepted Answer

The answer of It is important to store files in...

Question 8

A lack of resources or faulty equipment can:&#10;A) stop work in its tracks and cause loss of productivity&#10;B) cause staff to become frustrated and not turn up to work&#10;C) stop work in its tracks and create extra breaks&#10;D) cause loss of productivity and stop staff from working in harmony

Accepted Answer

A lack of resources or faulty equipment can halt work and cause a loss of productivity as the work cannot continue without the necessary resources or equipment. It may also lead to frustration among staff, but this is not the primary consequence of such a situation. Creating extra breaks or stopping staff from working in harmony may be secondary effects of delayed or halted work, but again, they are not the primary consequences of a lack of resources or faulty equipment. A lack of resources or faulty equipment can halt work entirely, which can lead to a loss of productivity. It can also contribute to a tense work environment, making it difficult for staff to work in harmony.

Question 9

A computer consists of two parts: hardware and software.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Hardware refers to the physical components of the computer, such as the processor, memory, and hard drive. Software refers to the programs and operating system that run on the hardware. A computer consists of physical components (hardware) and programs and data that run on those components (software).

Question 10

All organisations will have strict guidelines about making amendments to files and documents that include version control.

Accepted Answer

Not all organizations have strict guidelines about making amendments to files and documents that include version control. The implementation of such policies varies greatly depending on the organization's size, industry, and specific operational needs.
