12. MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONS 11rmmakaha@gmail.com QUESTION
INTRODUCTION Fast-Food Industry, industry concerned with the provision of fast food to customers,
either prepared in restaurants or other outlets, or sold in packaged form for buyers to consume or prepare
at home. Although it is acknowledged to be an increasingly significant sector of the hotel and catering
industry, defining fast food in any meaningful way has proved difficult. To some commentators, the basis of
the fast-food business is technology such as the microwave oven, while others contend that it is a form of
takeaway food retail outlet, epitomized by ubiquitous and usually American franchising and chain store
operations, such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Domino’s Pizza. Both
perspectives are inadequate, because they focus on how and where fast food is produced rather than what
is traded. How the product is traded or produced falls into the category of differentiating one competitive
offering from another, but it does not necessarily permit any material analysis of the industry’s dynamics,
its scope, its economic significance, or its history. DEFINITION A more instructive approach is to define
fast food retail as the sale of an end or finished product with four generic characteristics. It has a low
relative price. The finishing (and in some cases total production) and service times are quick. (The range of
end products on offer, demand levels, and production/service efficiency make it difficult to apply actual
times, but these typically range between 2 and 15 minutes for products made on site, and less than 30
minutes for home delivery products.) The product is suitable for eating with the fingers, has disposable
packaging, and, where applicable, disposable cutlery. (While this aspect facilitates the takeaway, drive-
through, and home delivery options of product delivery, it has also attracted substantial criticism from
environmentalists.) The durability of the finished product (such as maintenance of heat, nutritional value,
etc.) can be measured in minutes for hot fast food products and hours for cold products. (This perishability
factor clearly distinguishes fast food from snack/confectionery items, and this is where recent food hygiene
legislation, such as the United Kingdom’s various Food Safety Acts, has been a central issue.) Typical fast-
food products falling within this generic definition include hamburgers, fish and chips, scooped ice cream,
kebabs, fried and broiled chicken, chips or French fries, pizza, Chinese and Indian takeaway food,
sandwiches, and other forms of ready-to-eat products, as well as canned or packaged ready-to-drink
beverages. HISTORY Many people believe that fast food is not only synonymous with the American
lifestyle, but also had its origins in the United States, and that it is a modern phenomenon. To some
degree, these beliefs are understandable when one considers the significant impact on traditional cultures
that the American media has had, that the term “fast food” did not appear in the popular vocabulary until
1954 (followed by “take- out food” in 1962), the success of McDonald’s since Ray Kroc took over
management control in 1955, and that the top ten global fast-food brands are US-owned and generate
sales of over US$75 billion collectively. However, much fast food is European in origin, with a considerable
history. For example, John Stow’s 1598 survey of London mentions fast-food-like items, as does Henry
Mayhew in his social history of London in the 1840s and 1850s. The hamburger derived from the Baltic
provinces of Russia in the Middle Ages, where various tribes ate steak tartare. These Tartars, or Tatars,
introduced the delicacy to their German trading partners from the port of Hamburg. The Germans fried the
meat and seasoned it with onions. When German immigrants arrived in the United States, they brought this
steak dish with them. This said, there is also some evidence to suggest that the Romans ate a form of
hamburger as long ago as about 500 BC, and the Romans are also on record as eating a type of pizza.
The sandwich allegedly owes its existence to John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who asked for such an
item during a
13. MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONS 12rmmakaha@gmail.com gambling session in the
early 1770s. The debate concerning the origin of fish and chips, whether it derived from London or from
Mossley in Lancashire, only serves to underline the European dimension. What is attributable to the United
States is the standardized chain-owned fast-food concept, the subsequent innovations that improved the
efficiency of these operations, and their growth through franchising from 1925. Frederick Harvey, an
Englishman, is noted as the pioneer who, in 1876, created the uniformity in signs, décor and furnishings,
and service staff attire that has become the hallmark of modern fast-food retailing. These features were
also apparent in the development of the cafeteria in the 1890s, and later in the opening of Horn and
Hardart’s first automat restaurant in 1902. Within the fast- food market, the origin of the standardized chain
is attributed to the White Castle company, when Walter Anderson and Edgar Ingram opened their first
store in 1921. The emphasis on standardization has attracted criticism because it has served to reduce
labour skills and thereby reduce wages; it has also been cited as the primary cause of the decline of
independently owned and operated fast-food businesses, and as an example of US cultural imperialism.
RECENT TRENDS Fast food has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the hotel and catering
industry. This growth has not only been fuelled by consumer demand, but also through the expansion of
the supply base through diversification. This diversification has taken four forms. PRODUCT
DIVERSIFICATION While fast-food menus have been traditionally limited in breadth and depth of product
mix, as the market has matured, so increased variety has become the norm. For example, the major
hamburger chains offer not only pizza, chicken, baked potatoes, sandwiches, and salads, but also different
variations of these foodstuffs. Their provision means that the chains are able to offer a new experience to
their existing customers and possibly appeal to a new customer base. In the United States, product
diversity has taken a branded route, with companies supplying complementary products, forming strategic
alliances in order to create dual-branded stores. Complete the following tasks. General - 5 1. Type the

following Table in Excel; RollNo Name Math English Science Total Result Division Note: Pass Marks
Should be 50 and total, result should be computed using formula. Those who failed won’t have division and
compute the division of rest using formula in next sheet (next sheet should contain only Rollno and
Division while the first sheet will contain columns as given above except Division). Also validate marks –
should not contain more than 100 or less than 0. If so persist warning information. Solution: Well, the
question asks us to create two sheets – the first with RollNo, Name, Math, English, Science, Total and
Result and the second sheet with RollNo and Division. Enter the headings as asked in sheet1 and sheet2.
Enter formula to calculate Total (F2) on Sheet1: = C2 + D2 + E2 Enter Formula to calculate Result (G2) on
Sheet1: = IF (OR(C2<50, D2<50, E2<50), “Fail”, “Pass”) [ If any of the marks is less than 50, the Result is
Fail, otherwise, Pass] Alternately, you can use any of the following formula to calculate Result. = IF ( AND(
C2>=50, D2>=50, E2>=50), “Pass”, “Fail” ) [ If all of the marks is greater than or equal to 50, Result is
Pass otherwise, Fail ] = IF ( MIN (C2:E2)<50, “Fail”, “Pass” ) [ If the minimum marks is less than 50, Result
is Fail, otherwise, Pass ] Go to the Sheet 2 and on A2 enter formula =Sheet1!A2 and hit Enter. This will
produce on A2 of Sheet2 whatever it was on A2 of Sheet1. Drag the fill handle down to fill the same
formula to all the rows existing in Sheet1. On B2 of Sheet2 enter formula to calculate Division: =IF(
Sheet1!G2 = “Fail”, “*”, IF ( Sheet1!F2 / 3 >= 75, “First Division”, IF ( Sheet1!F2/3 >= 60, “Second Division”,
“Third Division” ))) [ If Result cell of Sheet 1 contains Fail, enter *, otherwise, If Total cell of Sheet1 / 3
(average or percent) is more than or equal to 75, enter First Division, otherwise, if average is more than or
equal to 60, enter Second Division and enter Third Division for the rest. ] To set validation on marks: Go to
the Sheet 1 and select the cells where marks is entered. Go to Data >> Validation. On Settings tab

53. MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONS 52rmmakaha@gmail.com QUESTION Part 1 Type
the passage below, font size 12 point, exclude the border, & save it as virus [10 marks] Protect Yourself:
Computer Viruses Viruses, Trojan horses & worms are human-made software programs created
specifically to wreak havoc on personal computers and networks. The chance of contracting one of these
computerviruses over the Internet has increased dramatically. In fact, unless you run anti-virus software,
your computer will almost certainly become infected. Typically, you get a virus by opening infected e-mail
attachments. Some viruses are relatively harmless to individuals. They just attach themselves to outgoing
messages or e-mail themselves to all the contacts listed in your address book. The sudden flood of e-mail
overwhelms mail servers, causing the system to crash. Other viruses are more destructive and may lie
dormant until a certain date. Then they spring to life to do their dirty deeds. Sometimes a strange message
appears on your screen, or data and programs may be modified. In the worst case, all the files on your
hard drive may be wiped out. These pernicious programs start on one computer, then replicate quickly,
infecting other computers around the world. In 1988 a student at CornellUniversity sent out a virus out by
accident, infecting more than 6,000 computers in minutes, nearly bringing the Internet to its knees. More
recently, the "I Love You" virus caused over $1 billion in lost productivity as it crippled e-mail systems
worldwide. Last year alone, 10,000 new viruses, Trojan horses and worms were unleashed. Part 2 a)

54. MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONS 53rmmakaha@gmail.com QUESTION Type the
passage below as it is. Use font size 12. [8 marks] what is a Browser? A browser is a computer program
that resides on your computer enabling you to use the computer to view WWW documents and access the
Internet taking advantage of text formatting, hypertext links, images, sounds, motion, blogs, and other
features. Firefox and Internet Explorer are currently the leading "graphical browsers" in the world (meaning
they facilitate the viewing of graphics such as images and video and more). There are other browsers (e.g.,
Mozilla, Safari, Opera). Most offer many of the same features and can be successfully used to retrieve
documents and activate many kinds of programs. Browsers all rely on "plug-ins" to handle the fancier files
you find on the Web. Plug-ins are sub-programs stored within a browser or elsewhere in your computer
especially to support special types of files you may click on. If you click on a link, and your computer does
not currently have the plug-in needed for the file you clicked on, you are usually prompted with an
opportunity to get the plug-in. Most plug-ins are free, and easy and safe to install on your computer; follow
the instructions you are given. The main way in which browsers differ is in the convenience features they
offer for navigating and managing the Web and all the URLs you may want to keep track of. Netscape and
Internet Explorer both offer the ability to e-mail documents, download them to diskette, print them, and
keep track of where you've been and sites you want to "bookmark" or "Add to Favorites" (Microsoft's name
bookmarks). a) Save the document as browser. [2 marks] b) Change the case of the main heading to Title

58. MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONS 57rmmakaha@gmail.com QUESTION TYPE THE
PASSAGEbelow, font size 14 point, & save it as Internet [5 marks] What is the Internet? The Internet is a
network of networks, linking computers to computers sharing the TCP/IP protocols. Each runs software to
provide or "serve" information and/or to access and view information. The Internet is the transport vehicle
for the information stored in files or documents on another computer. It can be compared to an international
communications utility servicing computers. It is sometimes compared to a giant international plumbing
system. The Internet itself does not contain information. It is a slight misstatement to say a "document was
found on the Internet." It would be more correct to say it was found through or using the Internet. What it
was found in (or on) is one of the computers linked to the Internet. Part 2 a) Change the font type of the
passage to Comic Sans MS [2 marks]. b) Center the heading, underline it, increase the font size to 20 &
change the font type to Algerian. [4 marks]. c) Move paragraph 1 below paragraph 2, such that paragraph

59. MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONS 58rmmakaha@gmail.com QUESTION PART 1 Type
the passage below, font size 10 point, & save it WWW [10 marks] What is the World Wide Web and what
makes it work? The WWW incorporates all of the Internet services above and much more. You can
retrieve documents, view images, animation, and video, listen to sound files, speak and hear voice, and
view programs that run on practically any software in the world, providing your computer has the hardware
and software to do these things. When you log onto the Internet using a web browser (e.g., Internet
Explorer, Fire fox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Safari), you are viewing documents on the World Wide Web.
The basic foundation on which the WWW function is the programming language called HTML. It is HTML
and other programming imbedded within HTML that make possible hypertext. Hypertext is the ability to
have web pages containing links, which are areas in a page or buttons or graphics on which you can click
your mouse button to retrieve another document into your computer. This "click ability" using Hypertext
links is the feature, which is unique and revolutionary about the Web. How do hypertext links work? Every
document or file or site or movie or sound file or anything you find on the Web has a unique URL (uniform
resource locator) that identifies what computer the thing is on, where it is within that computer, and its
specific file name. (More explanation on the structure of URLs.) Every Hypertext link on every web page in
the world contains one of the URLs. When you click on a link of any kind on a Web page, you send a
request to retrieve the unique document on some computer in the world that is uniquely identified by that
URL. URLs are like addresses of web pages. A whole cluster of internationally accepted standards (such
as TCP/IP and HTML) make possible this global information retrieval phenomenon that transcends all
political and language boundaries. Part 2 a) Change the font type of the whole passage to Arial [2 marks].
b) Center the two headings, underline, set the font size to 12 & change the font type to Arial Black. [4

the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as Cards [10 marks] COMPUTER CARDS Cards are
components added to computers to increase their capability. When adding a peripheral device makes sure
that your computer has a slot of the type needed by the device. Sound cards Allow computers to produce
sound like music and voice. The older sound cards were 8 bit then 16 bit then 32 bit. Though human ear
can't distinguish the fine difference between sounds produced by the more powerful sound card they allow
for more complex music and music production. Colour cards Allow computers to produce colour (with a
colour monitor of course). The first colour cards were 2 bits, which produced 4 colours [CGA]. It was
amazing what could be done with those 4 colours. Next came 4 bit allowing for 16 [EGA and VGA] colours
Then came 16 bit allowing for 1064 colours and then 24 bit which allows for almost 17 million colours and
now 32 bit is standard allowing monitors to display almost a billion separate colours. Video cards Allow
computers to display video and animation. Some video cards allow computers to display television as well
as capture frames from video. A video card with a digital video camera allows computers users to produce
live video. A high speed or network connection is needed for effective video transmission. Network cards
Allow computers to connect together to communicate with each other. Network cards have connections for
cable, thin wire or wireless networks. Part 2 a) Change the font type of the whole document to Bookman

the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as CompSystem. [10 marks] The Four Operations of a
Computer System Input Home computers are microcomputers. Input is supplied to the microcomputer with
the use of a keyboard, a mouse, or another input device. These input devices may be called peripheral
devices. Processing Processing is done inside the computer in an area called the central processing unit
(CPU). Processing is the conversion of input to output. Storage Storage refers to holding information
somewhere. RAM, Random Access Memory, is short-term memory. It is volatile memory because the
memory is automatically "erased" when the power is turned off or interrupted. The RAM memory is located
inside the computer case on the motherboard. A motherboard is not the keyboard. The keyboard is what
you type with. A motherboard holds RAM memory, electronic circuits and other computer parts including
the central processing unit. ROM, Read-Only-Memory, is not volatile meaning the memory is still there
when power is interrupted or turned off. When the computer is turned back on again, ROM memory is still
in storage on the internal hard disk. Output Output is the result of a computer process. Output may be
viewed on a monitor screen, heard through speakers, printed on printers, and so forth. Output devices may
be considered hardware and are also considered to be peripheral devices. Part 2 a) Change the font type
of the passage to Tahoma. [2 marks]. b) Center the heading, underline it, increase the font size to 18 &
change the font type to Bookman Old Style. [4 marks]. c) Perform a word count and type the number of

each. Bold the headings. [4 marks] j) Save it as Compsystem2 & produce a print out
the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as System. [10 marks] A Basic Computer "System" A
computer system refers to the computer AND all of its equipment. Equipment like speakers, printer,
keyboard, scanner, etc. is called peripheral equipment, sometimes shortened to "peripherals". The central
processing unit (CPU) is considered to be "the computer". Without peripheral equipment (such as monitor,
printer, speakers, etc.) for input and output the microcomputer (home computer) will not be able to do
anything you find useful. Your computer system cannot help you type a letter unless you have some type of
software (program) to do this. A “word processing” program handles most typing. A software program for
your computer can be purchased at stores like Office Depot, Staples, and computer stores. Check your
local telephone directory for a computer store in your area. Sometimes when you purchase a computer it
already has a word processing program installed. If you buy a computer from a large electronics chain
store, even if you have to travel out of town, you will get a better price as a rule than buying from a smaller
chain store in town. Ask in town first, if they would be willing to match another store's Advertised price...

63. MICROSOFT OFFICE PRACTICE QUESTIONS 62rmmakaha@gmail.com QUESTION Type the
passage below, font size 10 point, & save it as Mac. [12 marks] The Macintosh Computer The Macintosh
computer is commonly referred to as a "Mac". Apple Computer has produced a PowerMac, an iMac, and a
PowerMac G4, and the PowerMacG5. The operating system of the PowerMac G4 or G5 has undergone
revisions. Each major version also has a name: OS X version 10.2.x is Jaguar; version 10.3.x is Panther,
and the version 10.4.x is Tiger. The Apple PowerMac computers (the G4 and the G5) have two processors
(for parallel processing) instead of just one, and there is space inside the computer to upgrade to 4 hard
disks in a RAID array to give more power to thecomputer functioning as a server. Sometimes the
computer tower is called a "box" which is a slang word for "the computer". You could say, "There are two
processors inside the box." There is software specially designed for the PowerMac computersto help move
files from a Windows 98, ME, or 2000 system (XP is not listed on the box) to the Mac OS X. This software
is called Move2Mac and is a product of Detto Technologies. I found my copy of the shrink-wrapped
software on a shelf at a large Fry's Electronics store. A lot of computer software can be purchased using a
credit card with a secure connection over the Web, then downloading that software to your own computer.
I prefer having a CD or other disk with the software on the disk. The Macintosh has excelled in the
commercial graphics and publishing industries and thousands of people prefer a Mac for home use rather
than a PC. The PC computerscurrently have a much greater market share and there are millions in use in
homes and businesses throughout the world. When you attend college the college will specify which type
of computer, Mac or PC, will be in use at the college for faculty and students. Some colleges use just Mac
computers in campus buildings and for the faculty. Other colleges use PCs. (In the following paragraphs I
use OS to mean "operating system") Prior to the Macintosh OS X operating system the Macs used an
operating system based upon a single processor (computer CPU) which processed data and ran
applications using what was called cooperative multitasking. Cooperative multitasking allowed programs to
sometimes take control of the central processing unit. Now with the newer Macintosh operating system,
OS 10.2.x (Jaguar) and later versions there is a UNIX-like kernel in the operating system, two processors
and the central processing unit processes data with symmetric multiprocessing (uses both CPU's or "chips"
to process data) and it uses pre-emptive multitasking, not allowing any application to take control of the
central processing units.

Compatibility The computer processor inside a PC or PC-clone computer has totally different architecture
(microscopic "wiring" schematic) inside the central processing unit chip (the CPU, or "chip"). In other
words, the specific way the circuits are laid out in a computer chip (CPU, central processing unit) is called
the chip architecture. PC chips and Mac chips have processing units with totally different architecture.
Software is not interchangeable. Buy Mac software for the Macintosh and buy PC software for
PCcomputers. An Apple or Mac computer is not a PC. Most PCcomputers are sold new with a Windows
operating system but keep in mind that other operating systems can also run on PC-architecture machines.
One example of another operating system that can run on a PC machine is Linux for Windows. When two
operating systems are on a disk they are installed on separate "partitions" of the disk. That is similar to two
songs on one CD having to be on separate "tracks". Hardware and Software Usually, things you can see
and touch on a computer or inside a computer are called "hardware" whereas programs for the computer
(digital instructions) are called software. A computer programmer who writes lines of code for the computer
creates software. An interpreter or compiler is a smaller program, which changes the programmer's code
into machine instructions for the central processing unit. After much testing and debugging, the
programmer's code is finally "packaged" into executable files which make up the final "software" which can
be purchased later, or might be "bundled" with the computer when you buy it (meaning that some software
is already installed when you buy the computer.) Part 2 a) Change the font type of the whole document to
