1.

Computer Environment: A computer environment refers to the technology infrastructure and software
platforms that are used to develop, test, deploy, and run software applications. There are several types
of computer environments, such as mainframe, client-server, cloud computing, mobile computing, grid
computing, and embedded systems. Each type of computer environment has its own advantages and
disadvantages, and the choice of environment depends on the specific requirements of the software
application and the resources available. ⁴
Question: What is the name of the computing environment in which resources and services are provided
over the Internet and accessed through a web browser or client software?
A) Mainframe
B) Cloud Computing
C) Grid Computing
D) Embedded Systems
Answer: B) Cloud Computing
2. Hard Drive Fundamentals: A hard drive is the hardware component that stores all of your digital
content, such as documents, pictures, music, videos, programs, and operating system. Data is stored on
disks by magnetizing particles, which will correspond to the computer's data of binary ones and zeros.
The disk drive contains a series of disks, called platters, that have two recording surfaces each. Data is
stored on each surface in a series of concentric rings, called tracks, that are further divided into sectors.
Each sector contains a collection of bytes, which are units of data composed of 8 bits. The capacity of a
hard drive can be calculated by multiplying the number of sectors by the number of data heads by the
number of cylinders by the number of bytes per sector. ⁷⁸
Question: What is the name of the device that is responsible for reading and writing data on the hard
drive?
A) Spindle
B) Actuator
C) Head
D) PCB
Answer: C) Head
3. File Recovery Utilities: File recovery utilities are software tools that can help you recover files that have
been deleted, lost, corrupted, or damaged. File recovery utilities can recover files from various storage
devices, such as hard drives, external drives, memory cards, cameras, and more. File recovery utilities
work by scanning the storage device for traces of files that have been marked as deleted or overwritten,
and then restoring them to a new location. Some file recovery utilities can also recover files from
damaged or formatted drives, by using advanced techniques such as deep scan, file carving, or raw
recovery. Some examples of file recovery utilities are Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Stellar
Data Recovery. ¹²³
Question: What is the name of the feature that uses industry- and military-standard deletion techniques
to make sure your files stay erased?
A) Secure overwrite
B) File shredder
C) Data wipe
D) All of the above
Answer: D) All of the above

4. Types of Video Monitors and Adapters: A video monitor is a device that displays images generated by
a computer or other video sources. A video adapter is a hardware component that connects the video
monitor to the computer or video source and converts the digital signals into analog signals that the
monitor can display. There are several types of video monitors and adapters, such as CRT, LCD, LED,
OLED, plasma, DLP, HDMI, VGA, DVI, and DisplayPort. Each type of video monitor and adapter has its
own characteristics, such as resolution, refresh rate, contrast ratio, color depth, response time, and
power consumption.

Question: What is the name of the video adapter that uses 15-pin connectors and is commonly used for
analog video signals?

A) HDMI

B) VGA

C) DVI

D) DisplayPort

Answer: B) VGA

5. Intel Microprocessor Architecture: Intel microprocessor architecture is the design and structure of the
central processing units (CPUs) manufactured by Intel Corporation. Intel microprocessor architecture can
be classified into several generations, such as x86, IA-32, IA-64, x86-64, and Itanium. Each generation of
Intel microprocessor architecture has its own features, such as instruction set, addressing modes,
registers, memory management, pipelining, cache, and performance. Intel microprocessor architecture
is widely used in personal computers, servers, and embedded systems.

Question: What is the name of the 64-bit extension of the IA-32 architecture that was jointly developed
by Intel and AMD?

A) x86

B) IA-64

C) x86-64

D) Itanium

Answer: C) x86-64
6. How Computer Language Works: A computer language is a set of symbols, rules, and commands that
can be used to communicate with a computer or instruct it to perform certain tasks. A computer
language can be classified into two main types: low-level and high-level. A low-level language is a
language that is directly understood by the hardware of the computer, such as machine language and
assembly language. A high-level language is a language that is closer to human language and can be
translated into low-level language by a compiler or an interpreter, such as C, Java, Python, and Ruby. A
computer language works by following a syntax, which is the grammar and structure of the language,
and a semantics, which is the meaning and logic of the language.

Question: What is the name of the process that converts a high-level language into a low-level language
by translating the entire source code at once?

A) Compilation

B) Interpretation

C) Execution

D) Debugging

Answer: A) Compilation
