Which built-in feature is most appropriate?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Spotlight<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Disk Utility<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Time Machine<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keychain Access<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotlight is the built-in macOS search feature that can quickly locate applications, documents, folders, emails, settings, and other indexed content. It is especially useful when a user knows the name of an item but does not remember where it is stored. Disk Utility is used for storage management, Time Machine is used for backups and version recovery, and Keychain Access manages passwords, certificates, and cryptographic keys. Spotlight can also perform simple calculations and surface system settings, making it a useful general productivity and troubleshooting tool. If expected results are missing, indexing status or Spotlight privacy settings may need to be reviewed. Technicians should understand the purpose of each macOS utility rather than treating all built-in tools as interchangeable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 362.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Which macOS feature provides an overview of open windows, full-screen applications, and multiple desktop spaces so the user can switch between them easily?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Finder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mission Control<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keychain Access<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> FileVault<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 2<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mission Control provides a visual overview of open application windows, full-screen applications, and desktop spaces on macOS. It helps users organize their workspace and move quickly between different windows or virtual desktops. Finder is the primary file-management interface, Keychain Access manages stored credentials and certificates, and FileVault provides full-disk encryption. Mission Control is useful when a user reports that a window or application appears to be \u201cmissing\u201d but is actually located on another desktop space. A technician supporting macOS should be familiar with window-management features because many apparent application problems are simply navigation or workspace issues. Understanding the distinction between user-interface features and security or storage tools helps avoid unnecessary troubleshooting steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 363.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A macOS user cannot remember the password stored for a previously configured Wi-Fi network. Which built-in utility may allow an authorized user to view or manage the saved credential?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Disk Utility<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Time Machine<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keychain Access<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Force Quit<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 3<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keychain Access stores and manages many credentials, certificates, keys, and passwords used by macOS and applications. An authorized user may be able to locate a saved Wi-Fi entry and view or manage the associated credential after providing appropriate authentication. Disk Utility manages storage devices, Time Machine handles backups, and Force Quit terminates unresponsive applications. Technicians should be careful when modifying keychain items because applications and network services may depend on stored credentials. Removing an entry may cause the system to prompt for the password again, which can be useful when a saved credential is outdated. Access to stored passwords should always follow organizational authorization and privacy requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 364.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A macOS user wants full-disk encryption to protect data if the laptop is stolen. Which built-in feature should be enabled?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Time Machine<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Spotlight<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mission Control<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> FileVault<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 4<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FileVault provides full-disk encryption for macOS and helps protect stored information if a Mac is lost or stolen. Without the proper login credentials or recovery mechanism, an attacker should not be able to simply remove the storage device and read the data offline. Time Machine provides backups, Spotlight provides search, and Mission Control manages windows and desktop spaces. As with other encryption technologies, recovery information must be handled carefully because losing both user credentials and the recovery mechanism can make legitimate recovery difficult. FileVault should be combined with strong authentication, screen locking, secure user accounts, and appropriate backup practices. Encryption protects data at rest but does not prevent an attacker from accessing data after an authorized session has already been unlocked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 365.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Which Linux command should a technician use to display the manual page for another command, such as <\/b><b>chmod<\/b><b>?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> man<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sudo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pwd<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">man<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> command displays manual pages that describe the syntax, options, and purpose of many Linux commands and system components. For example, entering <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">man chmod<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can show detailed usage information for changing file permissions. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> searches text for matching patterns, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sudo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> runs authorized commands with elevated privileges, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pwd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> displays the current working directory. The manual system is particularly useful when a technician remembers the name of a command but not the exact syntax or available switches. Because command-line operations can make significant changes, especially when run with elevated privileges, consulting the manual before execution can reduce mistakes. Technicians should still validate commands in the context of the specific distribution and environment because behavior or available options may vary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 366.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Which Linux command changes the owner of a file or directory?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chmod<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chown<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ps<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 2<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chown<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> command changes ownership information for Linux files and directories. Ownership is important because Linux permissions are commonly evaluated for the owner, group, and others. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chmod<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> changes permission bits rather than ownership, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> searches text, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> displays process information. A technician may use <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chown<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after moving data between users, restoring files from backup, or correcting ownership that prevents an application or user from accessing required files. Ownership changes should follow least-privilege principles, and recursive changes should be used cautiously because applying the wrong owner to an entire directory tree can break applications or expose sensitive data. Administrative privileges are often required when changing ownership of files that belong to another user.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 367.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A Linux process is consuming excessive CPU resources.

It is useful when a technician needs to identify which process is consuming excessive resources in real time. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ls<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lists directory contents, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pwd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> displays the current path, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cp<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> copies files. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can also display processes, but it typically provides a point-in-time snapshot rather than the continuously refreshing view offered by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After identifying the resource-heavy process, the technician should determine whether the behavior is legitimate, caused by a software problem, or potentially related to malicious activity. Processes should not be terminated until their purpose is understood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 368.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Which Linux command is used to send a signal to a process, commonly to terminate it by process ID?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mv<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chmod<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> kill<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 4<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kill<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> command sends a signal to a Linux process, commonly using its process ID. By default, it typically requests a graceful termination, although other signals can be specified when necessary. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> searches text, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mv<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> moves or renames files, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chmod<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> changes permissions. A technician should first identify the correct process using tools such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and should attempt a normal termination before using a more forceful signal. Forcefully terminating a process can lead to unsaved data, incomplete transactions, or corrupted application state. The technician should also confirm whether the process is managed by a service manager, because simply killing it may cause the service to restart automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 369.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A Linux technician needs to copy a configuration file to a backup filename before editing it.

Before modifying an important configuration file, creating a backup copy is a sensible operational practice because the original can be restored if the change causes problems. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rm<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> removes files, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kill<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sends signals to processes, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grep<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> searches text. Technicians should preserve file ownership and permissions appropriately when creating configuration backups, especially for system files. The backup should also be clearly named so it can be distinguished from the active configuration. For major changes, a broader change-management process may require documenting the current state, testing the change, obtaining approval, and defining a rollback plan in addition to making a simple local file copy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 370.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Which Linux command is used to move a file to a different directory or rename it?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cp<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mv<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pwd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> man<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 2<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mv<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> command moves files or directories and can also rename them when the source and destination are on the same file system. For example, moving <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">old.conf<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">old.conf.bak<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> effectively renames the file. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cp<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> creates a copy while leaving the original in place, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pwd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> displays the current directory, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">man<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> displays documentation. Technicians should be cautious when using <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mv<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because moving a file to an existing destination may overwrite content depending on circumstances and options. When editing system configuration, copying a file first may be safer than simply renaming or moving it if the active application expects the original path to remain present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 371.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A user&#8217;s browser suddenly shows a certificate warning on one well-known HTTPS website, but other secure websites work normally.

The technician should verify that the URL is correct, inspect the warning details, and determine whether the certificate is expired, mismatched, untrusted, or otherwise invalid. A mistyped domain or phishing site can produce a warning that users should not bypass. Disabling certificate validation or security protections would create serious risk and could expose the user to man-in-the-middle attacks. If the system date and time are correct and other HTTPS sites work normally, the problem may be specific to that website or its certificate chain. The safest response is to stop and verify the destination rather than training users to click through security warnings automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 372.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A web browser repeatedly redirects the user&#8217;s homepage to an unknown search site after restart.

The technician should inspect installed extensions, browser settings, recently installed applications, and endpoint security alerts. Scanning the system with approved anti-malware tools may also be appropriate. Replacing the keyboard or changing display settings would not address the symptom, while immediately formatting every drive is unnecessarily destructive before less disruptive remediation is attempted. If malware is confirmed, the technician should follow the organization&#8217;s malware-removal process, isolate the system if necessary, remove the threat, update protection tools, patch the system, and verify that browser settings remain clean after restart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 373.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A smartphone application repeatedly crashes immediately after launch, but other applications work normally.

A temporary process or memory problem may be resolved without changing the rest of the system. If the issue continues, the technician can check for application updates, verify available storage, restart the device, clear supported application cache data, or reinstall the application. A factory reset or full operating-system reinstall is far more disruptive and should be considered only after simpler troubleshooting fails and important data has been backed up. Replacing the battery is unrelated unless there are separate power symptoms. Troubleshooting should progress from simple, low-risk steps to more invasive actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 374.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A mobile device reports that storage is almost full and applications can no longer update.

The user may also move photos or documents to approved cloud or external storage where appropriate. Disabling screen locking or encryption would weaken security and does not solve the storage shortage. Permanently disabling updates can leave the device vulnerable. Low storage can cause application failures, prevent updates, interfere with backups, and reduce overall system stability. Before deleting data, the technician should confirm what is important and ensure that necessary files are backed up. After freeing space, the device should be retested and the user may need guidance on storage-management practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 375.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Which mobile security feature allows an authorized owner or administrator to erase data from a lost or stolen device over the network?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remote wipe<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Screen brightness control<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Airplane mode<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Automatic rotation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote wipe allows an authorized user or administrator to erase data from a lost or stolen mobile device, reducing the chance that sensitive information will be exposed. This capability is often part of mobile device management, account-based device services, or enterprise security platforms. Screen brightness, airplane mode, and automatic rotation are not data-protection controls. Remote wipe is most effective when combined with strong screen locking, device encryption, remote location capabilities, and prompt reporting of lost hardware. The device generally must communicate with the management or account service for the wipe command to be received. Organizations should also maintain appropriate backups because remote wiping intentionally makes local data unavailable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 376.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A company wants mobile devices to erase themselves after a defined number of failed unlock attempts.

This is a security control intended to reduce the effectiveness of brute-force attempts against a lost or stolen device. It does not primarily improve battery life, application performance, or storage capacity. Because automatic wipe can also be triggered by repeated accidental failures, organizations should configure the threshold according to risk and usability requirements. Important data should be backed up so legitimate users can recover after a wipe. Device encryption, strong authentication, remote management, and account protections should also be used because no single control can address every mobile-device threat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 377.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Which practice best reduces the risk of malicious mobile applications being installed on a company device?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Allow installation only from approved or trusted application sources<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Disable all operating-system updates<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Share one administrator account with every employee<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Turn off device encryption<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restricting software installation to approved or trusted application sources reduces the chance that users will install malicious, repackaged, or unauthorized applications. Enterprise mobile-management platforms can also enforce allowlists, application policies, and required security settings. Disabling updates increases vulnerability, sharing administrator credentials weakens accountability, and disabling encryption exposes stored data if the device is lost. Even applications from trusted stores should be reviewed for requested permissions and business appropriateness. Organizations should combine application-source controls with mobile device management, endpoint protection where available, user education, prompt patching, and periodic review of installed software. Least privilege should also apply to mobile applications so they receive access only to the data and device capabilities necessary for their intended function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 378.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A user installs a flashlight application that unexpectedly requests access to contacts, microphone, location, and files.

A simple flashlight application generally should not need broad access to contacts, microphone, files, or other sensitive resources. Excessive permission requests may indicate poor privacy design, aggressive data collection, or potentially malicious behavior. The technician should review the requested permissions, deny those that are unnecessary, and consider removing the application if its behavior is suspicious or violates organizational policy. Granting administrator rights would increase risk significantly. Mobile operating systems provide permission controls specifically so users can limit application access. Enterprise organizations may also enforce application permissions or block unauthorized applications through mobile device management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 379.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A technician discovers that an employee copied customer records to a personal USB drive without authorization. Which type of organizational policy is most directly relevant to determining whether this action is permitted?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Acceptable use and data-handling policy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>2.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Screen resolution policy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>3.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Printer maintenance schedule<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>4.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Power-management plan<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acceptable use and data-handling policies define how employees may use organizational systems, removable media, sensitive information, and company resources. Copying customer records to a personal USB device may violate rules governing confidential data, removable storage, encryption, privacy, or data exfiltration. Screen resolution, printer maintenance, and power-management policies are unrelated. The technician should follow organizational incident-reporting procedures rather than independently deleting evidence or confronting the employee beyond their authority. Depending on the organization, security, management, legal, or compliance teams may need to become involved. Technicians should understand that operational procedures include not only technical repair but also proper handling of sensitive data and escalation of policy violations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 380.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A technician completes an approved change, verifies that systems are working correctly, confirms users are unaffected, and determines that no rollback is required.

The change record should show what was actually performed, whether the expected result was achieved, how functionality was validated, whether any problems occurred, and whether the rollback plan was needed. Lessons learned should also be recorded if they can improve future deployments. Removing monitoring would reduce visibility during the post-change period, making undocumented changes would violate change-control discipline, and deleting the original request would destroy the audit trail. Proper closure gives the organization a reliable history of production modifications and helps future technicians understand system state and previous decisions. Change management is not complete simply because the technical work succeeded; validation, documentation, communication, and formal closure are also necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View Full CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Exam Dumps and Practice Test Dumps &nbsp; Question 361.
