    • A - Type out formal letters 

    • B - Do presentations for business 

    • C - Send emails to various stake holders 

    • D - Do calculation and store data 

    Correct Answer
    A. D - Do calculation and store data 
    Explanation
    Excel spreadsheet is a software application that is primarily used for performing calculations and storing data. It provides a grid-like structure where users can input numerical data and perform various mathematical operations on it. Additionally, Excel offers a wide range of functions and formulas that allow users to perform complex calculations easily. It also provides features for organizing and analyzing data, such as sorting, filtering, and creating charts and graphs. Therefore, option D, "Do calculation and store data," is the correct answer as it accurately describes the main purpose of using an Excel spreadsheet.

    Correct Answer
    A. A - Data
    Explanation
    The information stored on a computer is referred to as data. This can include various types of information such as text, images, videos, and more. Data is the raw material that is processed and manipulated by computer programs and applications to produce meaningful output. It can be organized and stored in files and folders on the computer's storage devices. The term "gigabytes" refers to a unit of measurement for the amount of data storage capacity, rather than the actual information stored.

    2.6) The computer can only run one program at a time. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because modern computers are capable of running multiple programs simultaneously. This is achieved through multitasking, where the computer switches between different programs rapidly, giving the illusion of running them simultaneously. Multitasking allows users to open multiple applications, perform tasks in the background, and switch between programs seamlessly. Additionally, modern operating systems have features like task managers and virtual desktops that further enhance multitasking capabilities.

    2.4) To work, a program does not need to use the CPU, memory and storage of the operating system. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A program requires the CPU, memory, and storage of the operating system to function properly. These resources are essential for executing the program's instructions, storing and retrieving data, and managing system resources. Without access to these resources, the program would not be able to perform any tasks or operations. Therefore, the statement that a program does not need to use the CPU, memory, and storage of the operating system is false.

    • None of the above 

    Correct Answer
    A. C - Any part of your computer you can see 
    Explanation
    A hardware refers to any physical component of a computer system that can be seen or touched. It includes devices such as the monitor, keyboard, mouse, CPU, memory, and storage devices. The language of a computer refers to the programming languages used to write software, while a desktop or laptop computer refers to specific types of computers. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it encompasses all visible components of a computer system.

    2.3) An ATM and a calculator are really just computers. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An ATM and a calculator can be considered as computers because they both have the ability to process information and perform calculations. Both devices have a central processing unit (CPU) that carries out instructions, input/output devices for interaction with users, and memory for storing data. While their functionalities may differ, they share fundamental characteristics of a computer system. Therefore, it is true to say that an ATM and a calculator are really just computers.

    • D - Both A & B are correct 

    Correct Answer
    A. C - Manages the software and hardware on the computer 
    Explanation
    The operating system is responsible for managing both the software and hardware on the computer. It provides a platform for software applications to run and interacts with the computer's hardware components such as the processor, memory, and storage devices. It controls the execution of software programs, manages system resources, and facilitates communication between software and hardware. Therefore, option C is correct as it accurately describes the role of the operating system in managing both software and hardware on the computer.

    2.9) A RAM is a permanent memory of a computer. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. A RAM (Random Access Memory) is not a permanent memory of a computer. It is a volatile memory that is used for temporary storage of data that is actively being used by the computer. The data stored in RAM is lost when the computer is powered off or restarted. Permanent memory in a computer is typically referred to as secondary storage, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, where data is stored even when the computer is turned off.
