As the name states, during a ground-fault (when the current going out is significantly different than the current going in) the GCFI interupts the current.  Usually by a switch of some sort.  (Pushing the "test" button produces that click, and cuts off the current)

Answer:

Interrupts the current ( B )

Explanation:

The Ground fault circuit interrupter is integrated into the outlet of the electrical system in a building. its main function is to monitor the incoming electric current and the outgoing electric current in the building. if there is any imbalance detected by the GCFI it shuts out/interrupts the current flow in the building.

this interruption in the current flow is to protect the equipment, the house and the receptacles found in the building against possible overheating which might lead to fire outbreak in the building.also if the insulation of the cables used in the building is worn out it can also lead to the GCFI  tripping current flow as well.

The ACME Online Store offers different preferred customer discounts for customers who are "None", "Bronze", "Silver" and "Gold".
Nookie1986 [14]

Yes, the written program has the correct logic to assign the correct discount for each of the 4 valid values of customer_category

<h3>What is a Program?</h3>

This refers to the sequence of instructions that are keyed into a computer to execute user-specific commands.

Hence, we can see that based on the variable customer_category that has a string that is one of these 4 values:

0 for "None"

5 for "Bronze"

10 for "Silver"

20 for "Gold"

The program uses the correct syntax as it gives the correct discount based on the assigned values of the variable customer_category as executed with the syntax above.

Answer:

D. Fault tolerance

Explanation:

  • Fault Tolerance basically refers to the feature or capability of a  system to keeps on working and performing its operations without interruption in case of a failure.
  • This failure can be the failure of one or more of its components.
  • This is beneficial as the system does not stop working or fail completely.
  • It provides copies of the same system or backup components which can be used when the existing system fails and prevents the loss of information and services.
  • Accessibility  refers to provide equal services for everyone who uses a system. So its not a correct option.
  • Moore’s law states that the computing speed and power will double every two years so its not a correct option as well.
  • Anti virus is a software to identify, prevent and remove viruses and malware so it is not a correct option as well.
