Which of the following is designed for interaction to take place via an OS running on the host rather than the host directly?
A. Type 1 hypervisor
B. Type 2 hypervisor
C. Elasticity
D. Multitenancy
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: A Type 2 hypervisor runs on top of a host operating system and relies on that OS for interaction with the underlying hardware. In contrast, a Type 1 hypervisor runs directly on the host hardware (bare metal). Elasticity and multitenancy are cloud computing concepts, not hypervisor types.
Question 62
A shared printer experiences an outage when users submit numerous print jobs at the same time. Which of the following would an engineer most likely do after verifying network connectivity?
A. Reboot the server.
B. Reinstall the printer drivers.
C. Reset the printer to factory settings.
D. Restart the spooler service.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: After confirming network connectivity, the most likely cause of a shared printer outage under heavy simultaneous print jobs is a hung or overloaded print spooler. Restarting the spooler service clears stuck print jobs and restores printing with less disruption than rebooting the server. Reinstalling drivers or resetting the printer are not appropriate first responses to this symptom, and rebooting the server is more disruptive than restarting the specific service.
Question 63
Which of the following connectors supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)?
A. DVI-A
B. F-type
C. VGA
D. DisplayPort
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: HDCP is supported over digital display interfaces such as DisplayPort, HDMI, and digital variants of DVI. DVI-A is analog-only and does not support HDCP. VGA and F-type connectors do not support HDCP.
Question 64
An office is experiencing frequent wireless outages and slow network speeds. A technician confirms that all wireless devices are experiencing the same symptoms. Which of the following should the technician do to determine whether the issue is external or internal?
A. Restart all devices and ensure they join the workgroup.
B. Check the DNS configuration to make sure it is correct.
C. Connect a machine using Ethernet and test connectivity.
D. Perform a policy update on Active Directory and reset network settings.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Connecting a device via Ethernet isolates the problem. If the wired connection works normally while wireless is slow or dropping, the issue is likely internal to the wireless infrastructure (APs, interference, configuration). If the wired connection also has connectivity problems, the issue is more likely upstream or external to the wireless network. The other options do not effectively distinguish between an internal wireless issue and a broader network/external issue.
Question 65
Which of the following DNS records should a technician configure to allow domains that are not owned by the company to send messages on the company's behalf?
A. SPF
B. MX
C. CNAME
D. DMARC
E. DKIM
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS TXT record that specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of a domain. It is used to authorize external sending services for the company's domain. MX identifies mail receivers, CNAME is an alias, DMARC defines handling/alignment policies, and DKIM publishes a public key for message signing rather than authorizing senders.
Question 66
A healthcare facility is printing government documents on preprinted forms. The output has shifted downward on the paper and the printed data is not aligned with the blank spaces on the forms. Which of the following should a technician do first?
A. Verify that the correct paper type is loaded into the tray.
B. Make sure that PostScript drivers are being used.
C. Check the orientation settings of the printer.
D. Ensure that the pickup rollers are firmly gripping the paper.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: The first troubleshooting step is to verify that the printer is configured for the correct paper type/form loaded in the tray. A mismatch in media settings can change how the printer positions the image on preprinted forms, causing vertical misalignment. Orientation issues would typically rotate or flip output rather than simply shift it downward, PostScript drivers are not the primary cause of this symptom, and pickup rollers would more likely cause skewing or feed problems rather than consistent image offset.
Question 67
A customer is able to print most documents with their USB inkjet printer, but the system is unresponsive when printing a certain report from a custom application. Nothing will print until the computer is restarted and the printer is power cycled. A technician remotes into the PC and confirms that the spooler stops working when this report is sent. After clearing the spooler and reinstalling the drivers from the manufacturer's website, the issue persists. No other sites using the application report similar issues. Which of the following is most likely causing the issue?
A. The manufacturer is curating content before it reaches the device to preserve ink.
B. The application has a bug that the developer needs to address.
C. The system is using the postscript language instead of the PCL.
D. Personal preferences have changed and documents with graphics are now online-only.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The issue is triggered by a specific report and causes the print spooler to crash despite reinstalling the printer driver. Since the application works at other sites, the problem is most likely an incompatibility between the report's output and the printer's page description language on this client. A PostScript/PCL mismatch can cause failures with specific print jobs, whereas the other options are implausible or contradicted by the scenario.
Question 68
A user's company-issued smartphone is swollen and will not fit in its protective enclosure. Which of the following would a technician most likely do?
A. Replace the battery.
B. Upgrade the RAM.
C. Change the case.
D. Restore to the factory settings.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: A smartphone that has become swollen is most commonly experiencing lithium-ion battery swelling, which is a safety hazard. The appropriate action is to replace the battery (or the device if the battery is not user-serviceable), not change the case, upgrade RAM, or perform a factory reset.
Question 69
Which of the following cable types is used to connect a display?
A. DVI
B. RJ45
C. SATA
D. USB 1.1
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video display interface used to connect monitors and displays. RJ45 is an Ethernet networking connector, SATA is used for storage devices, and USB 1.1 is a general peripheral interface rather than a standard display cable.
Question 70
A user asks a technician for assistance with a printer that has stopped printing. The user states that the print jobs are generated from a website and are difficult to re-create. When the technician remotes into the user's computer, they can see many jobs in the queue. The issue persists after the user performs a hard reset of the printer. Which of the following will most likely fix the issue?
A. Restarting the print spooler service on the local computer
B. Deleting all the jobs and having the user restart their computer
C. Making sure the printer is using the latest PCL driver
D. Updating the manufacturer's firmware on the printer
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: A stuck print queue after a printer hard reset is most commonly resolved by restarting the Print Spooler service on the local computer. This resets the spooler and allows queued jobs to resume or be cleared without requiring the user to recreate difficult-to-generate web print jobs. Deleting the jobs would lose them, while updating drivers or firmware is not the most likely fix for an already-stuck queue.
