Question 9

A(n) _____ is a set of specifications to keep hardware updated for larger and faster data transfer.
A) standard
B) agreement
C) contract
D) driver

Accepted Answer

A standard is a set of specifications that are agreed upon by industry leaders to ensure compatibility, interoperability, and performance for hardware or software. In this case, the standard is designed to keep hardware updated for larger and faster data transfer. An agreement is a mutual understanding between parties and not necessarily relevant to hardware specifications. A contract is a legally binding agreement between parties and not relevant to hardware specifications. A driver is a software component that allows the operating system to communicate with hardware devices. While a driver is necessary for hardware to function, it is not a set of specifications designed to keep hardware updated.

C) ExpressCard module
D) bus

Accepted Answer

USB hubs allow multiple devices to be connected to a single USB port on a computer, and can support up to 127 devices through daisy-chaining of additional hubs. FireWire and ExpressCard modules do not support as many devices, and "bus" is too general of a term to provide a clear answer.

Question 14

Tristan is looking into purchasing a new monitor for her desktop computer.  Tristan is curious about the new 3D technology available. Which of the following technological advancements would require her to wear 3D glasses to experience this effect?
A) stereo
B) autostereoscopy
C) monostereoscopy
D) ratio resolution

Accepted Answer

Stereo, or stereoscopic 3D, requires the viewer to wear 3D glasses to perceive the 3D effect. This technology works by presenting two offset images separately to the left and right eye of the viewer. The 3D glasses help in combining these two images in the brain to give the perception of depth, creating a three-dimensional effect.

Question 15

Tristan is looking into purchasing a new monitor for her desktop computer.  Which piece of hardware will help Tristan determine the resolution of the LCD monitor she configures?
A) bus
B) expansion slot
C) port
D) video card
