Module 1 Operating System

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about operating systems concepts like UNIX, shells, and processors. Some key points covered are: - A shell is used to provide each user with an exclusive environment to work on the system and protect the OS from unsafe access to kernel space. - Under UNIX, the keyboard is the default input device and monitor is the default output device. - A UNIX shell operates as a command interpreter to hold system resources and provide user protection. - Processors check for interrupts at the end of every instruction cycle before fetching the next instruction from primary memory.
