Health Safety and Security at Workplace

Correct answer: A. To avoid wrong payment and fraud

Checking the recipient name, amount, and identifying details helps confirm that the payment is going to the intended person for the intended value. It can catch typing errors, a wrong account, or a misleading payment request before money is sent. These checks do not change computer hardware; they protect the accuracy and safety of the transaction.

Correct answer: A. Sensitive information may be unsafe so it should be avoided

Public Wi-Fi is shared and its security may not be under the user's control. Attackers may create a fake hotspot or attempt to observe or redirect traffic, so banking and other sensitive activities are best postponed or done through a trusted network and secure mobile connection. Public Wi-Fi is not automatically dangerous, but it deserves caution and is not always safest.

Correct answer: A. Change the background or turn off the camera

A camera can unintentionally reveal names, addresses, marks, financial information, or other private material. Changing the background, moving to a suitable place, covering the documents, or turning off the camera prevents unnecessary disclosure and shows consideration for meeting participants. Sharing or reading the documents spreads the information, while speaking a password creates an additional security risk.

Correct answer: A. The post may already have been seen, saved, or shared

Once posted, online content may be viewed, copied, downloaded, forwarded, or captured in a screenshot before the author deletes it. Services may also retain records according to their policies. Deletion can reduce availability on the original platform but cannot guarantee that every copy disappears. Therefore, users should think about privacy and permanence before posting.

Correct answer: A. It helps close open work and the system safely

A proper shutdown gives applications time to save required information, close files, and stop system processes in an orderly manner. Directly cutting power can lose unsaved work and, if repeated, may contribute to file-system or hardware problems. Shutdown does not erase passwords, decorate websites, or change a printer; its purpose is safe system closure.

Correct answer: A. Correct posture, proper distance, and short breaks

A suitable chair and posture, a comfortable viewing distance, and regular short breaks reduce strain during extended computer use. Looking away from the screen periodically can also rest the eyes, while adjusting height helps keep the neck and back neutral. Sitting very close, working continuously, or ignoring chair position increases discomfort and does not represent safe ergonomics.

Correct answer: B. Make a small revision plan, rest, and practise calm breathing

A short, realistic revision plan gives direction without creating an impossible workload. Rest supports attention and memory, while slow breathing can help reduce immediate physical tension. Studying all night may worsen fatigue, abandoning subjects avoids the problem, and isolating oneself removes possible support. If anxiety is severe or persistent, speaking with a trusted adult or counsellor is sensible.

Correct answer: B. Because it shows balanced self-awareness and willingness to improve

Recognising a limit helps a student understand what is currently difficult and prevents unsafe or ineffective decisions. Seeking timely help does not remove responsibility; the learner still needs to participate, practise, and apply the guidance. It shows honest self-awareness and a willingness to improve. Help may make progress clearer, but it does not make every goal automatically easy or remove practice.

Correct answer: C. Concentration, energy, and decision-making may decrease

Adequate sleep supports attention, memory, emotional balance, energy, and decision-making. When sleep is consistently too short, a student may lose focus, work more slowly, react emotionally, and make weaker choices about time and priorities. Sleep does not guarantee success, but severe lack of it makes self-management harder. The other options incorrectly suggest automatic benefits.

Correct answer: B. Problem-solving and decision-making

Calmness reduces impulsive reactions and leaves room to examine what is actually happening. Gathering relevant facts then helps the person identify the problem, compare possible solutions, consider consequences, and choose a suitable action. This is a basic problem-solving and decision-making process. Avoiding work, becoming disorganised, or acting carelessly does not involve systematic fact-based reasoning.

Correct answer: A. Both may need information security and permissions

Both wired and wireless networks transmit data and can contain shared devices or files. Therefore, both may require authentication, access permissions, secure configuration, and protection from unauthorised use. Wireless connections can be exposed through radio signals, but a wired connection is not automatically safe; the other options make absolute or irrelevant claims.

Correct answer: A. Device security matters in local storage and account security matters in cloud storage

Local storage is kept on a device, so device locks, physical protection, malware protection, and backups are important. Cloud storage is accessed through an online account, so strong authentication, permissions, and secure sharing are especially important. Neither type is automatically safe, and local storage is not normally available everywhere without access arrangements.

Correct answer: A. Risk of infection from new harmful programs may increase

Unknown files may contain malware, such as a virus, spyware, or another harmful program. Outdated antivirus software may lack current detection information and can miss newer threats. Opening such files combines unsafe user behaviour with weaker protection, so the chance of infection increases. Updating protection and checking files before opening them are safer actions.

Correct answer: C. Run a security scan and avoid suspicious applications

Unexpected slowness, unknown messages, and applications opening by themselves can indicate malware or another security problem, although they are not absolute proof. A security scan is a responsible first step, and suspicious links or programs should not be opened. Sharing passwords or deleting every file can worsen the situation and may destroy useful evidence or work.

Correct answer: A. Password is still the first security layer

Two-step verification adds another proof of identity, such as a code or security key, after the password. It does not replace the password. A strong unique password makes the first barrier harder to defeat, while the second step provides extra protection if the password is stolen. Together they are safer than either a weak password or one-step login alone.

Correct answer: D. Do not share it and verify through an official source

A payment PIN, one-time password, or similar secret should not be disclosed to a caller merely because the caller claims to be helping. The request may be a fraud attempt using urgency or fear. End the call, avoid using a number supplied by the caller, and contact the bank or service through its official application, website, or verified helpline.

Correct answer: C. Sensitive information may be unsafe so it should be avoided

Public Wi-Fi is shared and its operator or other connected users may not be known or trustworthy. Even when a banking website uses encryption, fake hotspots, unsafe devices, or phishing pages can still create danger. It is safer to postpone banking or use a trusted private connection or mobile data. Public Wi-Fi is not automatically unsafe, but sensitive banking should be avoided when possible.

Correct answer: A. The post may already have been seen, saved, or shared

Deleting a post from one account does not guarantee that every copy has disappeared. People may have read it, taken a screenshot, downloaded it, forwarded it, or recorded it before deletion. Search caches or platform backups may also temporarily retain information. Because online content can leave a digital footprint, users should think carefully before posting private or harmful material.

Correct answer: B. Check source and facts

Urgency, fear, and a demand to forward a message are common signs of misinformation or manipulation. Before sharing, identify the original source, check the date and context, and compare the claim with reliable independent sources. If it cannot be verified, do not forward it. Sending it widely can increase panic and spread false information to others.

Correct answer: B. Compare it with other reliable sources

Search ranking does not guarantee accuracy. The absence of an author and date makes it harder to judge expertise, accountability, and whether the information is current. Compare the claim with authoritative or otherwise reliable independent sources, check the context, and use the information only when it is supported. A password or immediate forwarding does not establish truth.

Correct answer: B. Confirm the correct and trusted network name

A public place may contain imitation or unsafe wireless networks with names similar to a genuine one. Before entering account details, confirm the exact network name with the venue or a trusted staff member and use a secure connection. Connecting randomly, exposing a password, or opening accounts everywhere increases the chance of data theft.

Correct answer: A. Both may need information security and permissions

Both wired and wireless networks carry data and can contain shared resources, so both may require authentication, permissions, encryption, and other safeguards. Wireless signals can be intercepted if poorly protected, while wired equipment can also be accessed physically or misconfigured. Therefore neither type is automatically risk-free.

Correct answer: A. Device security matters in local storage and account security matters in cloud storage

Local storage is kept on a device such as a computer, phone, or external drive, so device locks, permissions, malware protection, and backups matter. Cloud storage is accessed through an online service, so account credentials, access permissions, and verification are especially important. Both forms still need appropriate protection and backups.

Correct answer: A. The risk of infection from new harmful programs may increase

An unknown file may contain malware, and outdated antivirus software may lack current detection rules or protections. Combining unsafe file opening with old security software therefore increases the chance that a harmful program will run unnoticed. The safer response is to update security software, scan files, and open downloads only from trusted sources.

Correct answer: C. Run a security scan and avoid suspicious applications

Slowness, unexpected messages, and unknown applications can be warning signs of malware, although they can have other causes too. A security scan is a measured first step, and avoiding suspicious links or programs prevents further harm. Sharing passwords or clicking messages is unsafe, while deleting everything without checking may destroy useful evidence and work.
