Question 1 Domain 8Managing Storage

Guillermo is a designer for ACME, Inc. He uses his 12.9-inch iPad Pro to create marketing materials and do color grading.

Which iPadOS feature should Guillermo use to allow his 12.9-inch iPad Pro to accurately display colors for common color standards?

Correct Answer: D
Explanation Reference Mode is a display feature that lets you calibrate your iPad to accurately render specific color standards like sRGB, DCI-P3, and others. This is essential for designers doing color-critical work like grading and creating marketing materials. Without Reference Mode, the display might not show true colors, which would lead to inaccurate design work. Other options wouldn't provide the color accuracy needed for professional design tasks.
Question 2 Domain 5Protecting Data

How many times does Face ID attempt a face match before requiring you to enter a passcode?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation Face ID attempts to match your face up to five times before it requires you to enter your passcode as a security measure. After five failed attempts, the system locks you out and demands the passcode to prevent unauthorized access. This threshold balances convenience with security by giving you a few chances while still protecting your device from someone trying to guess their way in.
Question 3 Domain 7Restoring, Reviving, or Recovering Mac Computers

Which option can you access to view the current activity of Apple Configurator for Mac?

Correct Answer: B
Question 4 Domain 9Managing Apps

An app stopped responding. How can you use the Dock to force the app to quit?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation When an app becomes unresponsive on Mac, you can force it to quit by control-clicking its Dock icon and selecting Force Quit from the menu that appears. This is faster than using the Force Quit Applications window. The other methods either don't work with the Dock or require extra steps to access the same function.
Question 5 Domain 6Identifying Mac User Accounts

Scenario

You're trying to connect a podcasting microphone to your MacBook Air. You're using the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter connected to a standard USB A to B cable that connects to the microphone. You open Sound in System Settings and click the input tab. but the microphone doesn't appear in the sound input device list.

What should you use to verify that your Mac has successfully connected to the microphone?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation System Information is where you can verify hardware connections on your Mac. By navigating to Hardware and then USB, you can see all connected USB devices and confirm whether your microphone is actually recognized by the system. This tells you if the connection issue is a hardware problem or a software configuration problem. Checking System Settings sound input alone won't show you if the device is connected at the OS level.
