Complete Question:

Which of the following best describes how computing devices represent information?

Group of answer choices

A. A computer will either represent information as bits or bytes but not both.

B. A computer represents data as a byte which is either a 0 or a 1.

C. A computer represents data as bits which is either a 0 or a 1.

D. A computer represents information as bits which contain 8 bytes.

Answer:

C. A computer represents data as bits which is either a 0 or a 1.

Explanation:

A computer represents data (informations) as bits which is either a 0 or a 1. Bits is a short for binary digits and it is typically the smallest unit of representing data (informations) in computers; which is simply either a 0 or a 1. Also, these two (2) digits (0 or 1) represents a computer's logical state.

A value of 0 represents Off, False, No or Minus (-) while a value of 1 represents On, True, Yes or Add (+) in computer memory.

This ultimately implies that, a bit can only hold one of two values, either a 0 or a 1.

Additionally, bytes are made up of bits; one (1) byte is equal to eight (8) bits.

Government central-planning ministries are a prominent feature of postwar Soviet communism.

So the best answer is B. Easter European cities like Minsk, Kiev, Bucharest, and Warsaw all found themselves within the Soviet Union, or within the Soviet sphere of influence, after the war. Since many of these cities had also suffered widespread destruction during the war, they required rebuilding, which was often undertaken according to the socialist ideals promoted by Soviet communism.

A is wrong because, although many Latin American countries experienced aggressive communist insurgencies or takeovers, the communist presence in Latin America rarely resulted in the <span>centralized re-planning of cities.

C is wrong because North America had no meaningful communist presence, and certainly no communist-guided central planning of cities. Same goes for Western Europe, which rules out D.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

While technician B is only partially correct, the statement of the technician A is completely true. Most shops use a spray wash cabinet, which is similar to a dishwasher that contains a strong soap and hot water solution. The solution is sprayed at parts, that are placed on a turntable, under high pressure, successfully removing oil, grease, and dirt.

As the technician B stated, some shops dip major engine parts in a hot caustic solution (but not a cold one). This method is called hot tanking, and although it cleans the engine parts well, it rarely removes all of the rust and oil paint. Due to environmental issues, this method is being used less and less.
