Match each description in Column I with the appropriate ICT term in Column II and choose the correct code.
Column I | Description | Column II | ICT term |
|---|---|---|---|
A | An example of a high-level computer programming language | I | Mainframe |
B | A non-volatile memory that can be read from but not ordinarily written to | II | LAN |
C | Computers used by airline companies to handle large volumes of data such as ticket reservations | III | Java |
D | A network in which computers are connected within a home or a company | IV | ROM |

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
In a matching item, identify the defining function or scope in each description before comparing the answer codes.
Programming languages, memory types, computer classes and network scopes are distinct ICT categories, so each description can be matched independently.
Application
A describes a high-level programming language. Java is a high-level, general-purpose programming language, so A pairs with III.
B describes read-only non-volatile memory. ROM retains data without power and is normally read rather than rewritten, so B pairs with IV.
C describes centralized processing of very large transaction volumes, such as airline reservations. Mainframe computers are designed for this workload, so C pairs with I.
D describes a network limited to a home or organization. A local area network, or LAN, covers this limited area, so D pairs with II.
Cross-check and contrast
A–III B–I C–IV D–II assigns the memory description to Mainframe and the airline workload to ROM.
A–II B–III C–I D–IV assigns the programming-language description to LAN and the memory description to Java.
A–I B–II C–IV D–III assigns the programming-language description to Mainframe and the network description to Java.
Therefore, the complete mapping is A–III, B–IV, C–I and D–II.
