Question 1

____ simply requires you to fill out a form with the type of data you want to locate in a database.
A) Natural language modification
B) Keyword searching
C) QBE
D) Notational resonance

Accepted Answer

QBE stands for Query by Example, and it requires a user to fill out a form with the data they want to locate in a database, using examples or templates. This approach is more intuitive and user-friendly than keyword searching or notational resonance, and less complex than natural language modification. QBE is commonly used in relational databases and business software.

D) jailbreak

Accepted Answer

Jailbreak is the "unauthorized change" made to the iOS software of an Apple device in order to download apps from sources other than the iTunes App Store. The other options, protocol breach and factory reset, do not accurately describe the process of downloading apps from unauthorized sources on an Apple device. Android is a separate operating system used on non-Apple devices.

Question 4

The process of overcoming limitations imposed by mobile service providers on an Android phone is called ____.
A) jailbreaking
B) factory reset
C) breaching protocol
D) rooting

Accepted Answer

The process of overcoming limitations imposed by mobile service providers on an Android phone is called rooting. This involves gaining administrative or root access to the device's operating system and removing any restrictions that may be in place. Jailbreaking is a similar process but is typically used in reference to Apple devices running iOS. Factory reset involves restoring the device to its original factory settings, which would not necessarily address any limitations imposed by mobile service providers. Breaching protocol is not a commonly used term in this context.

Question 5

The Windows ____ is a database that keeps track of your computer's peripheral devices,software,preferences,and settings.
A) BIOS
B) ROM
C) CD-ROM
D) Registry

Accepted Answer

The Windows Registry is a centralized database that stores configuration settings and options for both the Windows operating system and installed programs. It keeps track of all hardware devices, software, preferences, and settings. The other options, BIOS, ROM, and CD-ROM, are all non-volatile memory storage devices and do not serve the same function as the Windows Registry.

Question 6

____ searches are simply a collection of words relevant to a search.
A) Natural language
B) Keyword
C) QBE
D) Notational

Accepted Answer

Keyword searches involve using specific words, phrases, or terms that are relevant to the search, rather than attempting to use natural language or other notation methods. QBE stands for "query by example," which involves providing an example or template of what you are looking for and allowing the search engine to fill in the details. Notational searches rely on using specific symbols or notation to represent search terms.

Question 7

____ queries are questions stated in a language such as English,rather than an esoteric query language.
A) Natural language
B) Keyword
C) QBE
D) Notational

Accepted Answer

Natural language queries are questions stated in a language such as English, rather than an esoteric query language. These queries are generally easier for non-technical users to understand and generate.

Question 8

When installing a PC application,most ____ for new software are placed in the folder you specify.
A) executable files
B) data files
C) both a and b
D) neither a nor b

Accepted Answer

When installing a PC application, both executable files (which run the software) and data files (such as configuration or user files) are typically placed in the folder that you specify during the installation process. Therefore, this option is the best choice. Option A is not complete because data files are also present, and Option D is not accurate because some files are indeed placed on the computer during installation.

A) find
B) query
C) inquiry
D) search

Accepted Answer

A query allows you to search for specific records or groups of records in a database by specifying search criteria. While "find," "inquiry," and "search" are related terms, they do not have the same specific functionality as a query in a database.

Web applications are ____.
A) installed locally and run on the Web
B) accessed and run on the Web
C) installed on the Web and run locally
D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

Web applications are accessed and run on the web, meaning they can be used through a web browser and do not require installation on the user's device. Therefore, the most accurate choice is B. Choices A and C are incorrect as they suggest that the application is either installed locally or installed on the web, which is not accurate for web applications.

Question 15

C) support program file
D) executable file

A) authentications
B) reboots
C) configurations
D) verifications

Accepted Answer

Configurations are typically necessary to make sure the program is properly set up and its settings are customized for your computer. Authentications, verifications, and reboots may sometimes be necessary as well, but they are not always required during the installation process.

Question 18

A(n)____ installation gives you access to all features of the software.

Accepted Answer

A full installation provides access to all features of the software.

Question 19

____ applications are software that is installed on a computer's hard disk.
A) Help
B) Resident
C) Data
D) Local

Accepted Answer

Local applications are software programs that are installed on a computer's hard disk, as opposed to web-based or cloud applications that run on remote servers and are accessed through the internet. The other options (A, B, and C) are not accurate descriptions of installed software programs. "Help" refers to a function within a software program that provides assistance to users, while "resident" typically refers to a type of computer memory. "Data" is a broad term that refers to information, rather than software programs themselves.

Question 20

Support program files for PC applications often have a(n)____ extension.
A) exe
B) hlp
C) dll
D) spt

Accepted Answer

Support program files for PC applications often have a .dll (dynamic link library) extension, which contains reusable code and resources that can be shared across multiple programs. The other options may be used for executable files (exe), help files (hlp), or other types of support files, but they are not as commonly associated with PC support programs as dll files.
