Question

Which of the following is correct about importing data?

a. The working directory is the location from which I can import files
b. If using a Mac, the working directory changes automatically
c. If using a Windows machine, the working directory changes automatically
d. The process for changing the working directory is the same in Mac and Windows machines

Answer 1

The correct statement is that the working directory is where you can import files from, and it doesn't change automatically with the operating system. The processes to change the working directory may vary between Mac and Windows.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about importing data is: a. The working directory is the location from which I can import files. The working directory is the default folder where your program reads and writes files unless specified otherwise. This directory does not change automatically based on the operating system, whether it be Mac or Windows. Therefore, statements (b) and (c) are incorrect.

While the concept of a working directory is the same across different operating systems, the process for changing the working directory can differ slightly between Mac and Windows, so statement (d) is also not entirely correct.
