  • 2. 

    Which of the following is the smallest?

    • MAN

    • LAN

    • WAN

    • None of the above they are all the same size

    Correct Answer
    A. LAN
    Explanation
    The correct answer is LAN because LAN stands for Local Area Network, which is the smallest network among the options given. LAN typically covers a small geographical area such as a home, office, or building, connecting devices within that limited area. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) covers a larger area like a city, and WAN (Wide Area Network) covers the largest area, such as multiple cities or even countries. Therefore, LAN is the smallest network among the options provided.

    Which Network can be imagined as spreading across the entire world?

    • LAN

    • MAN

    • WAN

    • FAN

    Correct Answer
    A. WAN
    Explanation
    A Wide Area Network (WAN) can be imagined as spreading across the entire world because it is a network that connects multiple local area networks (LANs) and metropolitan area networks (MANs) over a large geographic area. Unlike LANs and MANs that are limited to a specific location or region, a WAN can span across countries and continents, providing connectivity on a global scale. Therefore, WAN is the correct answer as it best represents a network that covers the entire world.

    What is a computer network?

    • A group of computers in a row

    • Interconnected computers on a system

    • A group of Hubs joined with a server

    • A room that has more than one computer, a hub and a server

    Correct Answer
    A. Interconnected computers on a system
    Explanation
    A computer network refers to a system where multiple computers are connected and able to communicate with each other. This allows for the sharing of resources, such as files and printers, and enables users to access information and services from other connected devices. Interconnected computers on a system accurately describes the concept of a computer network, as it emphasizes the connection and communication between computers within the system.

      __________________  is the rules and encoding specifications for sending data.

    Correct Answer
    protocol
    Protocol
    Explanation
    The term "protocol" refers to the set of rules and encoding specifications that are used for sending data. These rules and specifications ensure that data is transmitted and received correctly between different devices or systems. By following the protocol, devices can communicate effectively and understand each other's messages. The use of a standardized protocol allows for interoperability and seamless data exchange between different systems.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The computer that connects all the computers is called a node?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The Node is the computer it self and not the connecting system which is called a hub.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What is the minimum number of computers that can be on a network?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    A network can be formed with a minimum of two computers. This is because a network requires at least two devices to communicate and share resources. With only one computer, there is no other device to connect with, hence a network cannot be established. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The _________________ communication mode has the keyboard communicating with the computer as an example.

    Correct Answer
    simplex
    SIMPLEX
    Simplex
    Explanation
    The term "simplex" refers to a one-way communication mode where information flows in only one direction. In this mode, the keyboard is used to input data into the computer, but there is no feedback or response from the computer to the keyboard. This is a good example of simplex communication because the keyboard is only transmitting data to the computer without receiving any information back. The variations in capitalization (SIMPLEX, Simplex) do not affect the meaning of the term.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The _____________________ communication mode is like a road under construction.

    Correct Answer
    Half Duplex
    half duplex
    HALF DUPLEX
    Explanation
    The comparison made in the question suggests that the communication mode being referred to is similar to a road under construction. This implies that the communication mode is not fully functional or efficient, just like a road that is being worked on and is not yet fully operational. The term "half duplex" refers to a communication mode where data can be transmitted in both directions, but not simultaneously. This fits the description given in the question, making it the correct answer.
