Question 2

​
-As shown in the accompanying figure,a(n)____ consists of a window containing a variety of objects that can be displayed on various devices.​
A)​ROM
B)​GUI
C)​CPU
D)​ERD

Accepted Answer

The description matches that of a GUI, which stands for graphical user interface. A GUI provides a visual representation of software programs or operating systems, allowing users to interact with them through icons, menus, and other visual elements. The other options, ROM (read-only memory), CPU (central processing unit), and ERD (entity-relationship diagram), do not fit the given description.

Question 3

A ____ is an output device.​
A)​mouse
B)​smartphone screen
C)​keyboard
D)​printer

Accepted Answer

A smartphone screen displays information, making it an output device, and a printer outputs information onto paper, also making it an output device.

Question 4

A program can direct a computer to take alternative actions based on the results of ____ comparisons.​
A)​arithmetic
B)​grouping
C)​logical
D)​sorting

Accepted Answer

Logical comparisons are used for decision making in programming, allowing the program to respond differently based on whether a certain condition is true or false. Arithmetic, grouping, and sorting are not related to making decisions based on comparisons.

Question 5

Both the program and the data must be placed in the ____ of computers like the system unit shown in the accompanying figure in order for the computer to perform activities as directed by the program.​
A)​read only memory (ROM)
B)​central processing unit (CPU)
C)​CD-ROM
D)​random access memory (RAM)

Accepted Answer

The RAM (random access memory) is the temporary storage location in the computer where both the program and data are placed when they are being used by the CPU (central processing unit) to perform activities as directed by the program. ROM (read only memory) contains permanent instructions that cannot be modified, while CD-ROM is a type of optical disc that can be used to store data but is not a location within the computer itself.

Question 6

Data is said to be ____ if it remains available after the computer power is turned off.​
A)​persistent
B)​volatile
C)​fragmented
D)​temporary

Accepted Answer

Persistent data is data that remains available even when the computer power is turned off. Volatile data, on the other hand, is data that is lost when the computer power is turned off. Fragmented data is data that is scattered in different locations on a storage device, while temporary data refers to data that is only needed for a short amount of time and is not intended to be saved for prolonged periods of time.

Question 7

Buttons for frequently used commands such as ____ are found on the Standard toolbar.​
A)​Open Project
B)​Cut
C)​Save
D)​Paste

Accepted Answer

The answer of Buttons for frequently used commands such as...

Question 8

Tapping or clicking a button like the one labeled Reset Window in the accompanying figure when a Visual Basic program is running triggers a(n)____.​
A)​index
B)​radical
C)​baseline
D)​event

Accepted Answer

Clicking a button during a Visual Basic program triggers an event, which is an action or occurrence recognized by the program. In this case, the event is likely linked to resetting the window.

Question 9

Users employ GUI objects to ____.​
A)​select options
B)​enter data
C)​cause events to occur
D)​all of the above

Accepted Answer

Users can use GUI objects to select options, enter data, and cause events to occur. All of these functions can be performed using various GUI objects such as buttons, checkboxes, dropdown menus, and text fields.

Question 10

​
-As shown in the accompanying figure,____ the physical equipment associated with a computer.​
A)​computer hardware is
B)​computer software is
C)​computer programs are
D)​computer cables are

Accepted Answer

The figure is likely illustrating physical components of a computer system, such as the motherboard, hard drive, RAM, and other hardware components. Therefore, the best choice is A, computer hardware. The other options, such as software and programs, are not physical components but rather digital or virtual components that operate on the physical hardware. Cables may be a physical component, but they are typically not the primary focus of a diagram illustrating computer components.

Question 11

A computer uses ____ operations to compare two values to see if they are equal to each other.​
A)​arithmetic
B)​logical
C)​grouping
D)​sorting

Accepted Answer

Logical operations are used to compare two values to see if they are equal to each other. Examples of logical operations include equal to (==), not equal to (!=), greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (>=), and less than or equal to (<=). These operators return a boolean value (true or false) based on the comparison.

Question 12

​
-Which item in the accompanying figure is an input device?​
A)​1
B)​2
C)​3
D)​4

Accepted Answer

Item 2 is a keyboard, which is an input device used for typing text and entering commands into the computer. Item 1 is a monitor, which is an output device. Item 3 is a printer, which is also an output device. Item 4 is a USB flash drive, which is a storage device.

Question 13

In which order do most programs follow these general steps?​
A)​process data,accept input data,create output data
B)​create output data,accept input data,process data
C)​accept input data,process data,create output data
D)​accept input data,create output data,process data

Accepted Answer

The most logical order for most programs is to first accept input data from the user or another source, then process the data, and finally create output data based on the processed information. Therefore, the correct order is C - accept input data, process data, create output data.

Question 14

​
-Which item in the accompanying figure is a processing device?​
A)​1
B)​2
C)​3
D)​5

Accepted Answer

The answer of  ​
-Which item in the accompanying figure...

Question 15

An application might allow data to be entered with a ____.​
A)​scanner
B)​mouse
C)​digital camera
D)​video camera

Accepted Answer

All the options listed (scanner, mouse, digital camera, video camera) are input devices that can be used to enter data into an application. A scanner can be used for documents and images, a mouse for navigation and selection, a digital camera for photographs, and a video camera for moving images.

Question 16

It is the ability of a computer to perform ____ operations that separates it from other types of calculating devices.​
A)​arithmetic
B)​input
C)​logical
D)​output

Accepted Answer

The answer of It is the ability of a computer...

Question 17

Addition and subtraction are considered to be ____ operations performed by a computer.​
A)​input
B)​comparing
C)​arithmetic
D)​output

Accepted Answer

Addition and subtraction are arithmetic operations, meaning they involve mathematical calculation. The other options (input, comparing, and output) do not necessarily involve mathematical calculation.

Question 20

A ____ is an input device.​
A)​scanner
B)​keyboard
C)​digital camera
D)​printer

Accepted Answer

All three options (scanner, keyboard, and digital camera) are input devices that allow users to input data or information into a computer system. Scanners convert physical images or documents into digital formats, keyboards allow users to input text and commands, and digital cameras capture digital images. Printers, on the other hand, are output devices that produce physical copies of digital data.
