Q1. Read the following two statements: (I) Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is considered a subset of Information Technology (IT). (II) The 'right to use' a piece of software is termed copyright. Which of the above-mentioned statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation
The key treats both statements as incorrect. ICT is generally a broader applied term that includes information technology along with communication systems, networks and media; it is not normally framed as merely a subset of IT. The right to use software is governed by a software licence or an end-user licence agreement. Copyright is the legal protection over the creator's work and copying rights, not simply the user's permission to run the software. Hence neither statement is accepted as correct.
