Intro to Computing - How Files and Folders Organize Data

Consider this command-line sequence:

copy report.doc Documents/
move report.doc Archive/
delete report.doc

What is the final location of report.doc after these commands?

ADeleted from all folders

BIn the Archive folder only

CIn the Documents folder only

DIn both Documents and Archive folders

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the copy command
The file report.doc is copied to Documents, so now it exists in both original and Documents folder.
Step 2: Analyze the move command
The original report.doc is moved to Archive, so it no longer exists in the original location but is in Archive. A copy remains in Documents.
Step 3: Analyze the delete command
The delete command tries to remove report.doc from the current (original) folder, but it was already moved away, so the command fails or does nothing. The file remains in Documents and Archive.
Final Answer:
In both Documents and Archive folders -> Option D
Quick Check:
Copy + Move original + Delete missing = Files in Documents & Archive [OK]

Quick Trick: Copy duplicates, move transfers original away, delete finds nothing [OK]
