問 66
Incorrectア
An archive is a mechanism or piece of data that bundles multiple files into one or stores them for long-term keeping. It concerns saving and compressing data and does not guide operations in an interactive format, so it is wrong.
- イ
正解 The correct answer is イ, the Wizard. A wizard is a function that lets you carry out complex software settings or operations by answering on-screen questions in order, in an interactive dialog format. The user is guided one screen at a time about what to do next, and simply by making selections or entering values can easily complete an operation that would normally involve many steps. The description in the question, namely a function that makes cumbersome operations easy through an interactive question-and-answer format, matches the definition of a wizard exactly, so イ is correct.
Incorrectウ
Autocomplete is a function that predicts the rest of a word or phrase from the beginning of what you have typed and automatically shows candidates to assist input. It only makes typing easier and does not guide an entire complex operation through questions, so it is wrong.
Incorrectエ
A pop-up window is a small separate window that appears layered in front while you are working. It is a display form used to notify or confirm information, not a function that guides steps in an interactive format to make complex operations easy, so it is wrong.
- Remember that a wizard is a function that guides complex settings or operations step by step through an interactive question-and-answer format so they can be completed easily.
- Distinguish its role from that of an archive (storing and bundling), autocomplete (input completion), and a pop-up window (a separate window layered on top).
