Question 41

Which of the following allows a physical server to host multiple virtual machines?

A. Cross-platform virtualization

B. Hypervisor

C. Sandbox

D. SaaS

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
A hypervisor is the software layer that enables virtualization by managing and allocating physical server resources (CPU, memory, storage, networking) to multiple independent virtual machines, allowing a single physical server to host many VMs simultaneously.

Question 41

An IT support specialist needs to configure several laptops to access local resources wherever the employees are while in the office. Which of the following would best meet this requirement?

A. Configure cellular location services to facilitate device identification.

B. Set up a Wi-Fi connection with a common SSID.

C. Enable Bluetooth connectivity in all laptops.

D. Create roaming profiles for each laptop.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
A common Wi‑Fi SSID allows laptops to connect seamlessly to the same wireless network throughout the office, providing consistent access to local resources regardless of the user’s location. Cellular location services and Bluetooth do not provide network access to local resources, and roaming profiles manage user settings, not network connectivity.

Question 42

A customer recently lost data due to several unexpected shutdowns. Data integrity is important to the customer. Which of the following features should the technician choose to prevent data loss?

A. Redundant power supply

B. Uninterruptible power supply

C. Modular power supply

D. High-efficiency power supply

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) provides immediate battery-backed power during outages or brief shutdowns, allowing the system to continue running long enough to save data and perform a graceful shutdown. This prevents file system and data corruption caused by sudden power loss, directly addressing data integrity concerns.

Question 42

A company purchases a new printer for an international office. When a technician installs the printer, the display only shows a white screen. Which of the following should the technician do to troubleshoot the issue?

A. Check network port connectivity.

B. Verify the printer's power requirements.

C. Ensure the printer is in the correct organizational unit.

D. Upgrade the printer's firmware.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
A completely white or blank display on initial installation most commonly indicates a power or voltage mismatch. Since the printer is being installed in an international office, different electrical standards (voltage, frequency, plug type) can prevent the printer from powering its display correctly. Verifying that the printer meets the local power requirements is the first and most appropriate troubleshooting step.

Question 43

A technician sets up secure print and configures an NFC device that will authenticate users for access. Which of the following will the NFC device most likely use to authenticate?

A. Badging

B. Password

C. Passcode

D. Biometrics

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
NFC-based authentication relies on a possession factor—something the user has. In secure print setups, users typically tap an NFC-enabled badge or card on the device to authenticate and release print jobs. This is commonly referred to as badging, not passwords, passcodes, or biometrics.

Question 44

A user purchases a new mobile phone and tries to connect it to the corporate communications and email applications without success. Which of the following should a technician do to allow the phone to connect?

A. Configure biometric security settings

B. Turn on LTE hotspot connectivity

C. Enroll the device in the MDM software.

D. Complete the company's BYOD training process

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
In corporate environments, mobile devices must be enrolled in Mobile Device Management (MDM) to access corporate communications and email. MDM enforces security policies, provisions required applications, and authorizes the device to connect to company systems. Without enrollment, access is typically blocked.

Question 45

A company migrates a local application to an internal cloud platform. Which of the following best describes this cloud platform?

A. Private

B. Public

C. Community

D. Hybrid

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
An internal cloud platform operated for a single organization is a private cloud. The application is migrated from local infrastructure to a cloud environment dedicated to that company, which fits the definition of a private cloud rather than public, community, or hybrid.

Question 46

Which of the following display technologies typically provides the highest contrast?

A. IPS

B. OLED

C. TN

D. VA

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
OLED displays are self-emissive, allowing each pixel to turn completely off for true blacks. This yields effectively infinite contrast, higher than LCD technologies like IPS, TN, or VA that rely on backlights and cannot achieve zero black levels.

Question 47

Which of the following networking devices is used to create a mesh network?

A. Modem

B. DSL

C. Access point

D. ONT

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
Mesh networks are formed by multiple wireless nodes that interconnect and relay traffic among themselves. These nodes are typically wireless access points (often called mesh APs or satellites). Modem, DSL, and ONT are access technologies or endpoints, not devices that create a mesh topology.

Question 48

A technician is setting up a new multifunction device to be used over a shared network connection. Copier functions need to be restricted to only office employees. Which of the following should the technician perform after configuring the device to use a print server that exists on the domain?

A. SMTP implementation

B. Firmware update

C. User authentication

D. SMB configuration

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
To restrict copier functionality to office employees, the device must be able to identify and verify users. Configuring user authentication (typically via domain credentials, PINs, or badges) allows the multifunction device to enforce access controls based on user or group membership. The other options do not provide user-level access restriction to device functions.
