(a) is the general term used for the programs that control the computer

system and process data.

Organize these options into the right categories

Categorize the following

spreadsheet

graphics editing

Video editing

compilers

Device Drivers

Operating systems

Utilities

Application Software

System Software

10.

System (a) is the software designed to provide a platform on which all

other software can run.

11.

Computers can only understand data which is in a (a) format (that is, a base 2 number system where only the values 0 and 1 can be used). This is often referred to as (b) data (because it can only have discrete, discontinuous values). However, data in the real world is actually (c) in nature. Analogue data is (d) data that changes smoothly from one value to the next, and not in discrete steps as with digital data.

Choose from the below words

binary

digital

analogue

physical

infinite

converting

12.

If analogue data is being sent to a computer, it must first be converted into digital data; this is done by hardware known as an (a) (ADC). If the computer is controlling a device (such as a motor) then the digital output from the computer needs to be converted into analogue form. This is done by a (b) (DAC).

Choose from the below words

analogue to digital converter

digital to analogue converter

input converter

output converter

13.

Which one is not a secondary storage device?

RAM

Solid-state drive

USB Flash Drive

Hard disk drive

14.

Which of the following is true about random access memory (RAM)?

RAM has slower access speeds compared to hard drives.

RAM is primarily used for long-term data storage.

RAM is non-volatile memory that retains data when powered off.

RAM is volatile memory that allows for fast read and write access.

15.

Which of the following is true about Read-only memory (ROM)?

ROM is used primarily for temporary data storage.

ROM is volatile memory that loses data without power.

ROM can be easily rewritten and modified.

ROM is non-volatile memory that retains data without power.

16.

It is worth noting that that ROM also contains some coding known as the (a) . This code tells the computer what to do when it first starts up; it is often referred to as the (b) (basic input/output system). When the computer is turned on, the BIOS carries out a (c) to find out if all the devices are present and whether they are functional. Then it loads the (d) into the (e) .

Choose from the below words

boot file

BIOS

hardware check

operating system

RAM

ROM

application software

17.

Which is not an example of an operating system?

macOS

Linux

Windows 10

Google Chrome

18.

Organize these options into the right categories

Categorize the following

The user is in direct communication

with the computer.

The user is not restricted to a

number of pre-determined options.

It is possible to alter computer

configuration settings.

The user needs to learn a number

of commands to carry out basic

operations.

All commands need to be typed in,

which takes time and can be errorprone.

Each command must be typed in

using the correct format, spelling,

and so on.

The user does not need to learn any

commands.

It is more user-friendly; icons are

used to represent applications.

A pointing device (such as a mouse) is used to click on an icon to launch the application.

Uses up considerably more computer memory.

The user is limited to the icons provided on the screen.

Needs a more complex operating system, such as windows to operate.

19.

Who would use command line interface (CLI)?

System administrators, developers, and technicians.

Office clerks

Graphic designers

Casual computer users
