A small business owner purchases a building and wants to set up an internet connection. A technician examines the target network room and discovers a coaxial wall jack. Which of the following internet types would the technician most likely recommend for the new business?
A. Fiber
B. Satellite
C. DSL
D. Cable
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: A coaxial wall jack is characteristic of cable internet service, which uses coaxial cable infrastructure. DSL uses telephone lines (RJ11), fiber uses fiber-optic cabling/ONT, and satellite requires a satellite dish rather than relying on an existing coax wall jack as the access medium.
Question 32
Which of the following cloud models exclusively utilizes a local data center?
A. Private
B. Public
C. Hybrid
D. Community
Show Answer

A. Power
B. Ethernet
C. FireWire
D. USB
Show Answer

Question 33
Which of the following utilizes specialized ports on a laptop to expand the local connection options?
A. NFC adapter
B. Docking station
C. Port replicator
D. USB dongle
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Question 33
Which of the following systems most likely contains ECC memory?
A. A high-end gaming console
B. A file server
C. A smartphone
D. A laptop
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory is primarily used in systems where data integrity and reliability are critical, such as file servers and enterprise servers. Consumer devices like gaming consoles, smartphones, and most laptops typically use non-ECC memory due to cost and compatibility considerations.
Question 34
Which of the following would prevent a virtual machine from communicating with any endpoints on a network or the internet?
A. VDI
B. Private cloud
C. Sandbox
D. Type 1 hypervisor
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: A sandbox is an isolated environment that can be configured to block a virtual machine’s access to other network endpoints and the internet. VDI, a private cloud, and a Type 1 hypervisor do not inherently prevent network communication.
Question 34
Which of the following can be used by a mobile device to access a secure building?
A. Hotspot
B. Near-field communication
C. Infrared scanner
D. Geolocation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Near-field communication (NFC) is commonly used for mobile access control systems. A mobile device can emulate a secure credential and communicate with an NFC-enabled door reader to unlock and access a secure building. Hotspots provide network connectivity, infrared scanners are not the standard mobile building access method, and geolocation only determines position rather than granting physical access.
Question 35
An IT specialist sets up a wireless router in a SOHO environment. Afterward, several devices cannot access the internet and are assigned IP addresses starting with 169.254. Which of the following is the best action to resolve this issue?
A. Reboot the wireless router.
B. Shorten the lease time.
C. Use static IP addresses.
D. Increase the DHCP pool size.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Addresses in the 169.254.x.x range are APIPA addresses, assigned when a device cannot obtain a lease from DHCP. In a SOHO setup, the router commonly provides DHCP, so rebooting it is the best available action to restart its DHCP service. Increasing the pool would only help if it were known to be exhausted.
Question 35
Which of the following cloud types should be used when minimizing cost is the priority?
A. Dedicated
B. Shared
C. Private
D. Hybrid
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Shared (multi-tenant) cloud environments distribute infrastructure costs across many customers, making them generally the lowest-cost option. Dedicated and private clouds provide isolated resources at higher cost, while hybrid deployments typically add management complexity and expense rather than minimizing cost.
