3. Correct answer: E. Lotus 1-2-3, an electronic spreadsheet, was the killer app that made the
IBM PC a must-have business tool.
A is incorrect because Microsoft Word is a word processor that evolved later for the PC but
did not have the killer app effect of Lotus 1-2-3.
B is incorrect because, although VisiCalc was a very important application for users of the
personal computers that predated the IBM PC, and was the obvious model for Lotus 1-2-3, it
did not play the role that Lotus 1-2-3 did in the success of the IBM PC.
C is incorrect because BASIC is a programming language, and although the IBM PC
included a BASIC interpreter in ROM, it was not a compelling must-have business tool.
D is incorrect because PC DOS is an OS and not an application, and it alone could not play
the role that Lotus 1-2-3 did.
4. Correct answer: E. Apple’s iOS is not available as a desktop operating system, used only in
Apple’s mobile devices.
A, B, C, and D are all incorrect because all these OSs (Chrome OS, macOS, Windows 10,
and Linux) are available as desktop operating systems.
5. Correct answers: A and C. Both a mouse and a keyboard are input devices.
B is incorrect because a printer is an output device.
D is incorrect because RAM is a form of computer memory used for temporary storage.
E is incorrect because ROM is a nonvolatile form of computer memory used to store
programs.
6. Correct answer: B. A file and printer server is a networked computer that allows users to save
and access files stored on it.
A, C, D, and E are all incorrect because each of these devices (desktop computer, tablet,
laptop, and smartphone) typically is a client on a network, allowing the local user to connect
to network services.
