The problem is, there is no way to know if the person asking it knows that - nor does the question include enough information to know what is implied. This is a style used by the CompTIA exams and the sole component that it tests is your knowledge of which exam you are taking, as each exam expects a different answer to the exact same question based on the knowledge and understanding of the test writer, not the taker, and know amount of reading comprehension or domain knowledge gives you the answer.
It tests how much you know about the person asking the question.
