Review Questions
1. Which of the following is a basic function all computers perform? (Choose three.)
a. processing
b. Internet access
c. graphics
d. input
e. email
f. output
Analysis:
a. Correct. The three basic functions that all computers perform are input, processing, and output.
b. Incorrect. Internet access is typically performed by desktop computers running a general-purpose OS,
but there are many other types of computers.
c. Incorrect. Graphics are typically performed by desktop computers running a general-purpose OS, but
there are many other types of computers.
d. Correct. The three basic functions that all computers perform are input, processing, and output.
e. Incorrect. Email is typically performed by desktop computers running a general-purpose OS, but there
are many other types of computers.
f. Correct. The three basic functions that all computers perform are input, processing, and output.
2. Which of the following executes instructions provided by computer programs?
a. NIC
b. USB
c. CPU
d. drive
Analysis:
a. Incorrect. NIC is incorrect because it handles network communication.
b. Incorrect. USB is incorrect because it provides a serial I/O interface.
c. Correct. CPU is correct because it processes instructions.
d. Incorrect. Drive is incorrect because a drive is usually a storage device.
3. You are asked to develop a process that runs in the background and handles network
communications. What type of process should you develop?
a. service
b. ISR
c. kernel
d. foreground
Analysis:
a. Correct. Service is correct because it is a process that runs in the background.
b. Incorrect. ISR is incorrect because it is an interrupt service routine that handles interrupts caused by
I/O devices.
, c. Incorrect. Kernel is incorrect because it is the core component of an OS.
d. Incorrect. Foreground is incorrect because a foreground process has a user interface and does not run
in the background.
4. Which of the following is a feature typically provided by an operating system? (Choose two.)
a. file system
b. spreadsheet
c. database app
d. kernel
Analysis:
a. Correct. The file system and kernel are two components of most OSs.
b. Incorrect. Spreadsheet is incorrect because it is a user application that is installed and uses OS
components and services.
c. Incorrect. Database app is incorrect because it is a user application that is installed and uses OS
components and services.
d. Correct. The file system and kernel are two components of most OSs.
5. A friend of yours described a program he is writing that runs on a microcontroller and will read
sensors and write to devices that control industrial equipment. What type of system is his program most
likely working with?
a. general-purpose operating system
b. multiuser operating system
c. embedded system
d. multitasking system
Analysis:
a. Incorrect. General-purpose operating system is incorrect because it is typically used to run business
applications on desktop and server computers.
b. Incorrect. A multiuser system might be a feature of an embedded system, but it is also a feature of a
general-purpose system.
c. Correct. Embedded system is the best answer because it is a type of computing system used to read
sensors and control equipment.
d. Incorrect. A multitasking system might be a feature of an embedded system, but it is also a feature of
a general-purpose system.
6. While on a coffee break, your colleague asserts that cooperative multitasking is the best operating
system design. What is your response? (Choose three.)
a. A disadvantage of cooperative multitasking is that it relies on each program to decide when to give
control back to the operating system.
b. Cooperative multitasking can be faster than other forms of multitasking because it increases the
clock speed of the processor.
c. Cooperative multitasking OSs can freeze due to a process getting stuck in an infinite loop.
d. Modern operating systems use preemptive multitasking so that the operating system is fully in
control.
e. Cooperative multitasking is best used on real-time operating systems.
