Question

a logical file - naming convention, such as using course_assignment_date.pdf, is considered a best practice because it: * 1 point
guarantees that the file is automatically backed up to the cloud storage service without delay or user intervention.
simplifies the identification and chronological ordering of files, especially when searching or sorting.
prevents the os from being able to open the file with the wrong application program.
increases the files security level by reducing the likelihood of unauthorized external access.

which function is primarily performed within the system settings or control panel of an operating system? * 1 point
viewing real - time usage metrics for the cpu and ram consumed by active programs.
navigating the hierarchical folder structure of the primary data storage disk.
configuring the systems display resolution, managing user accounts, and setting network preferences.
utilizing a specific program designed to reduce the physical size of selected digital image files.

if a system administrator uses a utility to delete temporary files and outdated software logs to free up space, this action is categorized as: * 1point
directory navigation of the systems root partition for file archival.
application installation of a utility program to manage core settings.
system maintenance using a specialized utility program for optimization.
utilizing a file compression algorithm to reduce the size of the operating system kernel.

Explanation:

1. For the first question:

• A logical naming convention like Course_Assignment_Date.pdf helps in quickly identifying what the file is (Course - related to a course, Assignment - an assignment, Date - when it was created or relevant). When files are sorted (e.g., alphabetically or by name in a list), the chronological order (from the date part) and the identification (course and assignment) are straightforward. It does not guarantee cloud backup (that depends on backup settings), does not prevent wrong - application opening (file extensions are more relevant for that), and does not increase security (encryption etc. are for security).

1. For the second question:

• System Settings/Control Panel is used for configuring system - wide settings. Configuring display resolution (a system - level visual setting), managing user accounts (system access control), and setting network preferences (system - level connectivity) are typical tasks in System Settings/Control Panel. Viewing real - time CPU/RAM metrics is more of a task for task - manager - like tools. Navigating the folder structure is for file explorers. Reducing image file size is for image - editing or compression software.

1. For the third question:

• Deleting temporary files and outdated logs is a form of system maintenance. It is done using a utility (a specialized program for optimization). Directory navigation for archiving is about moving files to archive locations (not deleting). Application installation is about adding new software. File compression of the kernel is a very specific and not - related - to - deleting - temp - files task.

Answer:

1. Simplifies the identification and chronological ordering of files, especially when searching or sorting.
2. Configuring the system's display resolution, managing user accounts, and setting network preferences.
3. System maintenance using a specialized utility program for optimization.
