The type of software that interacts with hardware circuit is called

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: System software manages and interacts with hardware, enabling it to function and support other programs. 'System software,' is correct because it includes operating systems (e.g., Windows) and drivers that directly interface with hardware circuits, per software engineering texts (e.g., Sommerville). 'Circuit software,' is not a recognized category. 'Interaction software,' is vague and undefined. 'Application software,' like word processors, relies on system software to access hardware, not interacting directly. System software's role as the bridge between hardware and applications, controlling circuits like CPUs or GPUs, makes A the precise answer, foundational to computer operation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: General anesthesia induces systemic unconsciousness, typically via intravenous or inhalation routes. 'Intrathecal,' is correct as the exception because it's used for regional (spinal) anesthesia, injecting into the spinal canal, not systemic general anesthesia (e.g., Barash's Clinical Anesthesia). 'Intravenous,' (e.g., propofol) and 'Inhalation,' (e.g., sevoflurane) are standard for general anesthesia. 'Rectal,' though rare, can be used (e.g., barbiturates in pediatrics). Intrathecal's local effect contrasts with general anesthesia's whole-body requirement, making A the accurate exclusion.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A scholarly literature review aims for depth but not necessarily exhaustiveness. 'The review is exhaustive and comprehensive,' is not correct because reviews are selective, focusing on relevant studies, per research standards (e.g., Booth's Systematic Reviews). 'Secondary sources are not most preferred,' is true; primary sources are favored. 'Journals and theses are good sources,' is accurate, offering credible data. 'It helps to identify strength and weakness,' is true, assessing prior work. Exhaustiveness is impractical and less critical than relevance, making A the false statement.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Descriptive studies describe phenomena without manipulating variables. 'Comparative study,' is correct as not purely descriptive; it often infers differences or causality (e.g., Polit & Beck), unlike the others. 'Correlational study,' describes relationships. 'Cross sectional study,' captures a snapshot. 'Case study,' details a single case. Comparative studies' analytical bent distinguishes D as the exception.
