Correct Answer: Top-left laptop: Swollen battery → A replacement is required
Top-middle laptop: Cannot locate boot partition → Enter the BIOS and configure changes
Top-right laptop: Incorrect contrast settings → Adjust the display settings
Phone (left): Keysetting → Disable the keys
Projector (left): Fuzzy image → Adjust the display angle settings
Projector (right): Wrong input selected → Switch the display input
Phone (right): Burn in → Adjust the refresh rate settings
Bottom-left monitor: Overheating → Disable overclocking in the CPU
Bottom-right monitor: Run ll → Upgrade the hard drive
Explanation: Match each visible symptom with the closest issue and standard troubleshooting action.
Question 11
Which of the following virtualization concepts is suitable for a development team that requires a bare minimum platform to run web applications with the capability to dispose and redeploy as needed?
A. Containers
B. IaaS
C. SaaS
D. Desktop virtualization
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Containers provide a lightweight platform for running web applications, with minimal overhead and the ability to quickly dispose of and redeploy instances.
Question 12
An organization upgrades all of its desktop machines to Windows 11. The organization must ensure that all machines are protected from malicious software on startup. Which of the following advanced options should the organization enable?
A. Trusted Platform Module
B. Hardware security module
C. Secure Boot
D. BIOS password
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Secure Boot helps protect systems from malicious software during startup by ensuring that only trusted, signed bootloaders and operating system components are loaded. TPM enhances key protection and attestation but does not by itself prevent boot-time malware. An HSM is for centralized cryptographic key management, and a BIOS password only restricts firmware access.
Question 12
Which of the following storage communication interfaces typically offers the best read/write speeds?
A. SATA
B. NVMe
C. SCSI
D. SAS
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: NVMe typically offers the best read/write speeds because it uses PCIe and is designed for high-throughput, low-latency access. SATA, SCSI, and SAS are generally slower interfaces.
Question 13
Which of the following is the best to use to stream real-time video from a network camera?
A. UDP
B. TCP
C. FTP
D. RDP
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: UDP is generally the best choice for streaming real-time video from a network camera because it prioritizes low latency over guaranteed delivery. Occasional packet loss is typically preferable to the delays caused by retransmissions in TCP. FTP is for file transfer, and RDP is for remote desktop access.
Question 13
A user reports that their smartphone does not turn on for more than a few minutes. The smartphone does not stay on even when plugged in. Which of the following actions should a technician take first?
A. Scan for malware.
B. Check the cable for damage.
C. Verify that roaming is disabled.
D. Perform a health battery test.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Test the battery’s health first to determine whether it can hold a charge. A failing battery can cause the phone to shut down after only a few minutes, even while connected to power.
Question 14
Which of the following allows an organization to provide remote desktop resources without providing physical workstations to its users?
A. RMM
B. SaaS
C. VDI
D. Containers
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) hosts desktop environments centrally and delivers them remotely to users, allowing access to full desktop resources without issuing physical workstations. RMM is for remote monitoring and management, SaaS delivers software applications, and containers package applications rather than providing user desktop environments.
Question 14
A technician is troubleshooting issues with an iOS-based device. The device's owner reports that the battery is discharging more quickly than expected. The technician inspects the following device parameters and configuration:
Battery health: 82%
Battery charge: 46%
Hotspot: On
Roaming: On
Used space: 48/64GB
Warranty: Expired
Which of the following would most likely cause the issue?
A. The device's warranty has expired.
B. The battery has low health.
C. The hotspot is being utilized.
D. The device is using roaming.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: An active hotspot uses cellular data and Wi‑Fi simultaneously, increasing power consumption and accelerating battery drain. The expired warranty does not affect battery use, and 82% battery health indicates reduced capacity rather than identifying the most likely active drain in this scenario.
Question 15
Which of the following will most likely be used in a testing environment to execute unauthorized code?
A. Virtual machines
B. Hybrid cloud
C. Load balancers
D. Application gateways
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Virtual machines are commonly used in testing and sandbox environments because they provide isolated systems where potentially unsafe or unauthorized code can be executed without affecting the host or production environment. Hybrid clouds, load balancers, and application gateways are infrastructure components not primarily intended for safely executing untrusted code.
Question 15
Which of the following is a potential downside of using a RAID 10 configuration instead of a RAID 5 configuration?
A. Less capacity
B. Less redundancy
C. Slower write speeds
D. Slower read speeds
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: RAID 10 mirrors data across pairs of drives, so roughly half of the total raw capacity is usable. RAID 5 uses the equivalent capacity of one drive for parity, generally providing more usable space with the same number and size of drives.
