Read the information, then answer the questions. An adult may read the instructions aloud. Show your working where asked.

Read before answering

A fictional guide file has a saved version on storage. The opening time is changed in an editor but NOT saved. Then power is lost. In this model there is no autosave or recovery service, and working RAM is volatile. A desktop shortcut points to the original file; it is not a second copy of the file's contents.
