Question

when jack takes a class, he saves all his work for that class with the name of the course. what is most likely happening to his saved files?
a. because he is using the same name, the second document is put on the clipboard until he selects a new name.
b. because he is using the same name, each time he saves he is overwriting his previous work.
c. because he is using the same name, the computer creates a new folder and saves it there.
d. because he is using the same name, the computer knows that the files are different so it adds a number to the name.

Explanation:

• Option a: The Clipboard is for temporary data transfer, not file saving with same names, so a is wrong.
• Option b: When saving a file with the same name in the same location, the new file overwrites the previous one. This matches Jack's action of using the same course name for all his work.
• Option c: Computers don't automatically create new folders for same - named files in this context; manual folder creation or specific settings are needed, so c is wrong.
• Option d: By default, most systems don't automatically add a number to the file name when the name is reused; the user has to enable such a feature or do it manually, so d is wrong.

Answer:

b. Because he is using the same name, each time he saves he is overwriting his previous work.
