Question 1

How should a GIS technician repair all broken data sources in a map at once?
A) Right-click Folders in the Project pane > Make a new folder connection > Navigate to the new file geodatabase location
B) Right-click Databases in the Project pane > Add Database > Navigate to the new file geodatabase location
C) Click the red exclamation point in the Contents pane > Change Data Source > Browse to new source
D) Click a broken layer in the Contents pane > Data Ribbon > Export Features

Accepted Answer

The red exclamation point in the Contents pane indicates broken data sources. Clicking it allows the technician to change the data source for all broken links at once by browsing to the new source.

Question 2

The user has created a mosaic dataset to display temperature change over time and is in the process of configuring the Add Rasters To Mosaic Dataset geoprocessing tool. To add the multidimensional data to the mosaic dataset, what raster type should be set?
A) NetCDF
B) DTED
C) HRE
D) ECRG

Accepted Answer

NetCDF is a common format for multidimensional data, such as temperature change over time, making it the appropriate raster type for this scenario.

Question 3

An ArcGIS user is printing a single map in a variety of page sizes. What must the user do to ensure scalability for feature symbology and text within the map?
A) Scale map to fit printer paper within the Tiling options
B) Scale map elements proportionally to changes in page size
C) Convert marker symbols to polygons
D) Set reference scale in the data frame properties

Accepted Answer

Setting a reference scale in the data frame properties ensures that the size of symbols and text will scale proportionally when the map is printed at different sizes.

Question 4

An ArcGIS user with a parcel layer and a stand-alone table of assessor's data is creating a tax map that will display data from both attribute tables. Both the parcel layer and the stand-alone table have one record per parcel. Which operation should the ArcGIS user perform to prepare the data for display?
A) Relate
B) Join
C) Spatial join
D) Append

Accepted Answer

A Join operation is appropriate here because it combines the attribute tables of the parcel layer and the stand-alone table based on a common field, allowing the user to display data from both tables together.

Question 8

When a file geodatabase feature class is exported to a shapefile, which property can be lost?
A) Spatial Reference
B) Field names that contain numbers
C) Attribute Domains
D) Values in a float field

Accepted Answer

Attribute domains, which are rules that define permissible values for a field, are not supported in shapefiles and will be lost when exporting from a file geodatabase.

Question 9

A GIS researcher needs to store cell-based data so that the researcher can manage rasters, add behavior, and control schema. What storage format should the researcher use?
A) TIFF in a folder that contains relevant data
B) JPEG in a shared folder that contains relevant data
C) GIF in a stand-alone folder
D) Database raster in a file geodatabase

Accepted Answer

A database raster in a file geodatabase allows for better management of raster data, including adding behavior and controlling schema, which is essential for a GIS researcher.

Question 10

An ArcGIS Pro user must be able to share work with a user in another organization to complete an analysis. The following items must be shared: Maps and the data referenced by their layers Toolboxes Geoprocessing history Attachments Which package type meets the criteria?
A) Map
B) Layer
C) Project
D) Scene

Accepted Answer

A Project package in ArcGIS Pro can include maps, data, toolboxes, geoprocessing history, and attachments, making it suitable for sharing all the specified items with another user.

Question 11

An ArcGIS user needs to update a coastline feature class after a recent weather event. The user receives aerial imagery taken 1 week after the event. All features will NOT need to be updated, but some areas have experienced soil loss due to erosion. Rather than redigitizing the entire coastline, the user wants to update the existing coastline feature class based on the new aerial imagery. Which edit tool is recommended to update this feature class?
A) Copy Parallel
B) Trace Feature
C) Reshape Feature
D) Trim Line

Accepted Answer

The answer of An ArcGIS user needs to update a...

Accepted Answer

The answer of A GIS technician must place points representing...

Question 13

Refer to the exhibit.  An engineering supervisor at a water utility asks the GIS analyst to find all pipes that are less than 10 inches in diameter. The analyst prepares a Select By Attribute query on the geodatabase feature class: Diameter < 10 When validating this SQL query, the analyst gets the error: "There was an error with the expression." What is invalid about the query?
A) Field name must be in enclosed in brackets: [Diameter]
B) Field name must be in enclosed in single quotes: 'Diameter'
C) Diameter is a text field but is using a numeric comparison
D) Query should include Diameter > 0 and < 10

Question 14

An ArcGIS user must share a map as a service to ArcGIS Online. The service must draw as fast as possible on a mobile device to provide fast display in the field. Which option should the user select in the capabilities of the service?
A) KML
B) Feature access
C) Tiled mapping
D) Mobile access

Accepted Answer

Tiled mapping is the best option for fast display on mobile devices because it pre-renders map tiles at various scales, allowing for quick loading and smooth navigation.

Question 15

An ArcGIS user receives a file that contains global positioning system track information. The user must import that data to create polyline track features. Which workflow will complete this task?
A) Table To Geodatabase > XY To Line
B) Points To Line > Dice
C) GPX To Features > Points To Line
D) Quick Import > Set Flow Direction

Accepted Answer

The correct workflow is to first convert the GPS data from GPX format to features using "GPX To Features" and then use "Points To Line" to create polyline track features from the point data.
