An examination is conducted, and the results of the examination are grouped into four grades “Excellent,” “Good,” “Passed,” and “Not passed,” based on the scores by using spreadsheet software. To show the results of grouping in column C, an expression is entered in cell C1 and then copied to cells C2 through C35. Which of the following is the appropriate expression to be entered into cell C1? Here, the procedure for grouping is as shown below.

[Spreadsheet creation procedure](1)Cells A1 through A35 contain scores.(2)Cell A36 contains a function to calculate the average score.(3)Cell B1 contains the expression below, and this expression is copied to cells B2 through B35.   A1 − $A$36(4)Grades are defined as follows: if the score is above the average by 10 points or more, it is marked as “Excellent”; if it is equal to or above the average by less than 10 points, it is marked as “Good”; if it is below the average by 10 points or less, it is marked as “Passed”; all other scores are marked as “Not passed.”

A hard disk failure occurred on a mail server, and e-mails of many users were lost. Recovery of data was attempted, but e-mails sent and received during the two-week period after the last backup could not be restored because backups were only created every two weeks. Taking a lesson from this incident, a measure is to be implemented to allow restoration up to the state of the day before such a failure. Which of the following is an appropriate measure?

Which of the following is an appropriate description concerning copyleft in the licenses of OSS (Open Source Software)?

Spreadsheet software is used to calculate the sum of two binary numbers α and β. The number of digits of α and β is limited to 2, and the values of the digits are entered in cells B3 and C3, and in cells B4 and C4, in the order of the 2’s place and the 1’s place. The worksheet is an example where the binary numbers are α = 10 and β = 11. The result is to be displayed in cells A5, B5 and C5 in the order of the 4’s place, the 2’s place and the 1’s place. Cell B2 is used to store information on the carry from the 1’s place, and the expression IF(C3+C4=2,1,0) is entered in it. Which of the following is the expression that is entered in cell B5?

In preparation for database failures, backup files are made every day after closing time. A full backup file is made every Saturday, and a differential backup file is made from Sunday through Friday. A differential backup file means a backup file of all the differential data from the last full backup file up to the day on which the differential backup file is made. Because the database was damaged on a Wednesday, a decision was made to restore the database to the state at the closing time on Tuesday, the previous day. Which of the following is the minimum set of backup files required to restore the database?
