- Pin, Angle, Squeeze, Spread
- Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep
- Pin, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep
- Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Spread
- Pull, Accuracy, Squeeze, Spread
Explanation: The acronym PASS stands for:
P – Pull the pin.
A – Aim at the base of the fire, not at the flames.
S – Squeeze the lever.
S – Sweep the nozzle from side to side.
27. What is the function of the Secure Boot setting in UEFI firmware?
- it allows for support of up to 2.2 terabyte hard drives
- it enables only Windows 8 or Windows 10 to be used as an operating system
- it increases the boot upload speed
- it enables AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) mode
Explanation: UEFI will check the boot loader before launching it and ensure it is signed by Microsoft (only supported by Windows 8 ,10 and 11). If a rootkit or another piece of malware does replace your boot loader or tamper with it, UEFI won’t allow it to boot. This prevents malware from hijacking your boot process and concealing itself from your operating system.

32. What is the reason why the DHCPREQUEST message is sent as a broadcast during the DHCPv4 process?
- for hosts on other subnets to receive the information
- to notify other hosts not to request the same IP address
- for routers to fill their routing tables with this new information
- to notify other DHCP servers on the subnet that the IP address was leased
Explanation: The DHCPREQUEST message is broadcast to inform other DHCP servers that an IP address has been leased.
33. Which three statements describe a DHCP Discover message? (Choose three.)
- The message comes from a client seeking an IP address.
- The destination IP address is 255.255.255.255.
- All hosts receive the message, but only a DHCP server replies.
- The source MAC address is 48 ones (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF).
- The message comes from a server offering an IP address.
- Only the DHCP server receives the message.
Explanation: When a host configured to use DHCP powers up on a network it sends a DHCPDISCOVER message. FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF is the L2 broadcast address. A DHCP server replies with a unicast DHCPOFFER message back to the host.
34. Match each DHCP message type with its description. (Not all options are used.)
Explanation: Place the options in the following order:
a client initiating a message to find a DHCP server – DHCPDISCOVER
a DHCP server responding to the initial request by a client – DHCPOFFER
