Explanation:

• Question 1: A vertical application is software designed for a specific industry or task. A library card catalog is for a specific library - related task. An internet browser is a general - purpose tool. A popular personal information manager and an inexpensive spreadsheet are more general - purpose applications compared to the library card catalog.
• Question 2: Multitasking involves performing multiple tasks or working with multiple programs. Switching from one program to another, moving data to a different document (which may involve multiple applications or tasks), and working in three or four applications at once are all forms of multitasking. Keeping your desktop clear is a task related to organization and not multitasking.
