Match common computing terms to their meanings: (A) Word wrap, (B) Client, (C) Multitasking, (D) Landscape — with: (1) Interleaved execution of two or more programs, (2) Automatically moves a long word to the next line, (3) An application receiving a service or data, (4) Orientation of a worksheet/page.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
User-interface and OS terminology is ubiquitous across software. This question ensures you can map everyday computing terms to their precise definitions in word processing, networking, and operating systems.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • (A) Word wrap
  • (B) Client
  • (C) Multitasking
  • (D) Landscape
  • Definitions: (1) interleaved execution of programs, (2) auto move a word to next line, (3) application receiving service/data, (4) page orientation


Concept / Approach:

Word wrap is a document editor feature that prevents words from being split or clipped at the line end. A client is the consumer in client-server architecture (e.g., a browser). Multitasking is the OS capability to interleave or schedule multiple tasks on a CPU. Landscape refers to horizontal page orientation (wider than tall) used for worksheets, slides, and wide tables.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Map word wrap → (2).Map client → (3).Map multitasking → (1).Map landscape → (4).


Verification / Alternative check:

Most editors expose “Word wrap” in view/preferences; OS textbooks define multitasking; networking texts define client vs server; page setup dialogs show Landscape/Portrait options.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Mixing client with server roles; confusing page orientation with print scaling; treating word wrap as hyphenation.


Common Pitfalls:

Assuming multitasking implies parallelism (true only with multi-core; otherwise, it is time-sharing); thinking word wrap inserts hard line breaks (it does not).


Final Answer:

A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4
