Who compiled the first English dictionary?

(A) Robert Cawdrey
(B) Samuel Johnson
(C) John Bullokar
(D) Hennery Cockeram

Check Answer

(A) Robert Cawdrey

Explanation

Back in 1604, Robert Cawdrey, a teacher and clergyman from England, made the first English dictionary that was in ABC order. Called A Table Alphabeticall, it wasn’t very big, with only about 2,543 words. He wrote simple, short definitions, usually just one word, to help people who weren’t good with fancy words understand tricky English words that came from other languages.

Now, lots of people think Samuel Johnson wrote the first English dictionary. He did write a really important one called A Dictionary of the English Language, but it came out way later in 1755. Johnson’s dictionary was the first to be super thorough and organized with quotes from books, but plenty of other dictionaries came before his.

The fastest type of computer memory is:

(A) Cache
(B) Flash
(C) Hard disk
(D) ROM

Check Answer

(A) Cache

Explanation

Cache is the fastest kind of computer memory here. It’s super quick and sits close to the CPU to speed up how fast the computer grabs info. It keeps the stuff you use a lot handy, so it doesn’t have to go all the way to the regular memory (RAM) every time.

Flash is slower and keeps data even when the power is off.

Hard disk is even slower and stores things for a long time.

ROM is only for reading and is slower than both RAM and cache; it’s where the firmware lives.

Quick Info: If “Register” were an option, it would be the fastest, but among the choices provided, Cache is the correct answer.
