Example answers and how they were marked
Renaming a file and deleting a file.
Why: Names renaming (1) and deleting (1), two file management tasks.

Why: Names one file management task (1).
Organising files and managing processes.
Why: Organising files without a named task is not credited, and process management is another operating system function, not a task performed on a file.
