Thank you for taking the effort to submit your test for the contest.
Unfortunately, this test will not be able to receive a prize:
Too many missing explanations. More than 10 explanations simply repeat the correct answer. E.g.
#q1,#q2,#q3 etc.

Thanks for the quiz.
However, MOST of the quizzes were copy-pasted from this site: https://bit.ly/2WYxGTi
The same quizzes on the above site also reappear on this site but on various pages [can be found easily by using site search feature] https://bit.ly/2XrzLX4

These questions don't appear on the above-mentioned sites:
> 1024 Petabyte... question
> Two or more computers connected... question
> Which involves photo scanning... question
> What menu is selected to... question

Then the question: "The ___ of software contains list..." was copy-pasted from https://bit.ly/36rzsPY

Apart from the plagiarism claims from Posh Chicken there are a few inaccuracies:
- Question 14: The context is missing here, specifically which software the question is talking about. To give an example, in LibreOffice Writer the Help Menu is available under the "Help" button from the toolbar. Since this question is talking about a "Start" button, I'm assuming it's talking about Windows, so the question should specify it's talking about Windows and not just any software.
- Question 24: Commands and options may also be available under a Toolbar, depending on the software[1].
- Question 26: There are multiple issues here:
a) "Both A and B" doesn't make sense for two reasons, first of all because the answer options don't have letters before them and second of all because (assuming A corresponds to the 1st option and so on) this would mean that "Both A and B" refers to itself and "None". I don't think this recursive definition was intended.
b) Characters being converted to ASCII in a computer would also imply a binary format, since computers store information that way, so this answer is a bit misleading - see for example this ASCII chart in which the symbols are identified through a binary code[2].
c) OCR doesn't necessarily use an ASCII encoding, and sometimes it's even impossible to use an ASCII encoding for OCR: Because OCR is the process of digitizing handwritten input[3], imagine it scanning characters such as "Ä" or "ü" or "ß". All of these characters do not have an ASCII representation[2], so an alternative encoding such as Unicode must be used instead.
