1 installed: This is the correct answer. Install means to place in position and prepare for use. It is commonly used to describe new software being put on a computer. The past participle "installed" is used because this is a present perfect construction (HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE). The technical team uses this tense to announce new information that is still relevant now. This is commonly found in news headlines, for example: "War has broken out between England and Wales" or "the Pope has converted to Islam".
2 account: This is the right choice. An email account is a platform that allows you to send and receive email messages. Hannah will be unable to work effectively at Delavigne without this. Like most businesses, Delavigne Corp uses a computer program called an "email client" or "Mail User Agent" (MUA) to manage emails. Examples of MUAs are Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla's Thunderbird.
3 Username: This is correct."hbenedict" is Hannah's username. A username is a unique set of characters identifying a user of a shared computer program, system, or network, which allows access when entered with a password.
4 lower case: This is the correct answer. "Lower case" means "small" letters. Therefore the technicians' instruction "all in lower case" means Hannah needs to write "password". If the note specified "upper case" or "capitals", Hannah would need to write "PASSWORD".
5 download: This is right. To download means to transfer data from the internet to a computer. This paragraph is about "internet policy" and we learn that "downloading" has been suspended (or stopped) at Delavigne. "Download" can also be used as a noun ("a download") to describe any file that is offered for downloading or that has been downloaded. Note, the reverse process of transferring data from a computer to the internet is called "uploading".
6 turn on: This is the right answer. To "turn on" means to put into operation or to activate. For example, "Don't forget to turn on your mobile phones when you leave the cinema".
7 click: This is the correct answer. "Click" describes the action of depressing and releasing a mouse button to select an icon or button on a computer screen. In the technicians' note, Hannah may have to click on the "cancel" button if an error message appears. Here's another example: "you have to double-click on the Microtosh icon to launch the program".
8 resolve: This is the right answer. "Resolve" means to find a solution or to solve a problem. In this case the technicians need to solve a problem with the server because it isn't recognising new accounts. The IT technicians hope to find a solution and have the server working correctly "within a few days". (A few days? A few weeks more like - I know how IT people talk!).
