• Option 2: Hide a column - To hide a column, you can use the shortcut CTRL + 0 (zero).
• Option 3: To select a row - To select an entire row, you can use the shortcut SHIFT + SPACE.

The correct answer is Worms.

• A computer worm is a standalone malware computer program that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers.
• Often, it uses a computer network to spread itself, relying on security failures on the target computer to access it.
• Unlike a computer virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program.
• Worms almost always cause at least some harm to the network, even if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.

The correct answer is object program.

Key Points

• An assembler is a tool that converts assembly language code into machine code.
• The output of the assembler is called the object program.
• The object program is the machine code that the computer's hardware can execute directly.
• The source program is the input provided to the assembler, written in assembly language.
• The process of converting the source program to the object program is known as assembly.
• Assemblers are essential for programming in low-level languages that are closer to machine code.

 Additional Information

• Bit Code
• Bit code is not a standard term used in the context of assemblers and machine code.
• It may refer to binary data or individual bits within a byte, but it is not the output of an assembler.
• Byte Code
• Byte code is a form of instruction set designed for efficient execution by a software interpreter.
• It is commonly associated with languages like Java, where the source code is compiled into byte code that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
• Source Program
• The source program is the original assembly language code that serves as input to the assembler.
• It is not the output of the assembler but rather the input that gets converted into an object program.

The correct answer is Pen Drive.

Key Points

• A flash drive also known as a USB stick, USB thumb drive or pen drive is a plug-and-play portable storage device that uses flash memory and is lightweight enough to attach to a keychain.
• A USB flash drive can be used in place of a compact disc.
• When a user plugs the flash memory device into the USB port, the computer's operating system (OS) recognizes the device as a removable drive and assigns it a drive letter.​

The correct answer is 32.

Key Points

• Each network running TCP/IP must have a unique network number, and every machine on it must have a unique IP address.
• It is important to understand how IP addresses are constructed before you register your network and obtain its network number.
• The IP address is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a network interface on a machine.
• An IP address is typically written in decimal digits, formatted as four 8-bit fields separated by periods.
• Each 8-bit field represents a byte of the IP address. This form of representing the bytes of an IP address is often referred to as the dotted-decimal format.
• The bytes of the IP address are further classified into two parts: the network part and the host part.
• There are two generations of IP packets, called IPv4 (IP version 4) and IPv6 (IP version 6).
• IPv4 has been dominant so far. The transition to IPv6 could accelerate due to its adoption in many Asian countries. The transition is however difficult and will last many years.

The Correct answer is Third Generation.

Key Points

• The Third Generation of computers is typically dated from 1965 to 1971.
• This generation is marked by the use of Integrated Circuits (ICs), which allowed computers to become more compact, reliable, and efficient.
• C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language, or "C with Classes".
• COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is one of the oldest programming languages and was primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments.
• Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It was developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995.
• The use of these programming languages during the third generation enabled more complex and powerful software applications.
• A third-generation programming language (3GL) is a high-level programming language that is more machine-independent and user-friendly compared to the machine code of the first generation and the assembly languages of the second generation.
• However, it has a broader focus than the more specialized languages of the fourth and fifth generations.
• Common examples of 3GLs include ALGOL, BASIC, C, COBOL, Fortran, Java, and Pascal.
