GCSE CS Network Security and System Software Lesson 3 QUIZ OS

What is the role of peripheral management in a computer system?

• To update software applications automatically

• To communicate with internal hardware and peripherals using drivers

• To manage the storage of files on a hard drive

• To encrypt data sent over a network

What happens during a system start-up related to peripheral management?

• The system installs all available drivers automatically

• The system chooses the correct drivers for connected hardware

• The system disables drivers for unused peripherals

• The system scans for viruses in the drivers

How does a computer handle new hardware when it is connected?

• It ignores the hardware until manually configured

• It installs drivers for the hardware automatically

• It requires the user to manually write the driver code

• It formats the hardware before allowing use

What is the purpose of a user interface in a computer system?

• To encrypt files on the computer automatically

• To allow users to interact with the computer

• To increase the speed of the computer's hardware

• To manage network connections

What is a key feature of a graphical user interface (GUI)?

• It uses text-based commands for advanced users

• It has windows, icons, menus, and pointers for everyday users

• It requires fewer system resources than other interfaces

• It only works on high-performance systems

What is a primary advantage of a command line interface (CLI)?

• A) It uses graphical elements to simplify interactions

• B) It requires fewer system resources than a GUI

• C) It is designed specifically for inexperienced users

• D) It supports touch gestures and voice commands

Who are command line interfaces (CLI) primarily designed for?

• A) Everyday users who prefer a visual interface

• B) Advanced users who are comfortable with text-based commands

• C) Users who rely on voice recognition technology

• D) Inexperienced users who need step-by-step guidance

What is the main difference between a GUI and a CLI?

• A) A GUI uses fewer system resources than a CLI

• B) A CLI is designed for advanced users, while a GUI is for everyday users

• C) A CLI provides visual elements like windows and menus

• D) A GUI requires text commands, while a CLI uses icons

What is the role of memory management in a computer system?

• To increase the speed of the processor

• To move application data to main memory when in use and remove it when no longer needed

• To store all applications in permanent memory

• To disable unnecessary background processes

How does memory management prevent applications from interfering with each other?

• By encrypting data before it is stored

• By allocating memory addresses so applications don’t overwrite each other

• By making all applications share the same memory space

• By automatically closing unused applications
