  • 2. 

    You can not rename a file once it is saved?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    You can rename a file once it is saved. This can be done by selecting the file, right-clicking on it, choosing the "Rename" option, and then entering the desired new name for the file. Renaming a file allows users to change its name without altering its content or location.

    You can resave a file in an alternate extension.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    You can change the file extension of a file to an alternate extension, allowing you to save it in a different format. This can be useful when you want to convert a file from one format to another, such as changing a .docx file to a .pdf file. By resaving the file with a different extension, you can ensure that it is compatible with the desired software or platform.

  • 4. 

    You have just deleted an entire folder. How can you retrieve the contents?

    • By emptying the Recycle Bin.

    • By restoring the folder from the Recycle Bin.

    • You can’t-once deleted, its contents can’t be retrieved.

    • You don’t need to. Only the folder has been deleted-not its contents.

    Correct Answer
    A. By restoring the folder from the Recycle Bin.
    Explanation
    When a folder is deleted, it is sent to the Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin acts as a temporary storage for deleted files and folders, allowing users to restore them if needed. Therefore, the contents of the deleted folder can be retrieved by restoring the folder from the Recycle Bin.

    The file extension that represents a spreadsheet application is?

    • .bmp

    • .mdb

    • .htm

    • .xls

    Correct Answer
    A. .xls
    Explanation
    The file extension ".xls" represents a spreadsheet application. This extension is commonly associated with Microsoft Excel, which is a widely used spreadsheet program. By using the ".xls" extension, the file can be easily recognized and opened by spreadsheet applications that support this format. Other file extensions mentioned in the question, such as ".bmp", ".mdb", and ".htm", do not typically represent spreadsheet applications.

  • 6. 

    You can restore a file from the Recycle bin but you can not restore a folder.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. Both files and folders can be restored from the Recycle bin. When you delete a file or folder, it is moved to the Recycle bin instead of being permanently deleted. From the Recycle bin, you can choose to restore either a file or a folder back to its original location on your computer.

    What is a file extension?

    • A large file.

    • Letters in a file name that indicate the format.

    • An additional part of a file.

    • Any file name.

    Correct Answer
    A. Letters in a file name that indicate the format.
    Explanation
    A file extension refers to the letters in a file name that indicate the format of the file. It is a suffix added to the end of a file name, usually separated by a period. The file extension helps to identify the type of file and determines which program should be used to open and interpret the file.

The Ctrl key is commonly used for this purpose in various operating systems and software applications.
