Answer 1

The correct answer that highlights an advantage of digital storage over analog is:

a. A copy of an analog file is never as good as its original.

This statement reflects the fact that analog copies tend to degrade in quality over time or with each copy made, while digital files can be duplicated perfectly without any loss of quality.

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. The statement "a. A copy of an analog file is never as good as its original" correctly points out a disadvantage of analog storage compared to digital storage.

In digital storage, copies can be made that are identical to the original without degrading in quality, whereas with analog storage, each copy can lose fidelity and quality compared to the original, making it a disadvantage of analog.

To summarize the other options:

• b. Sound can be recorded either digitally or using analog techniques. (This is simply a statement of fact and does not indicate an advantage.)
• c. Analog signals take up less bandwidth or storage space than digital. (This is generally not true; digital storage typically utilizes efficient compression and can represent data more compactly.)
• d. Analog storage of information is continuous and captures a more pure sound. (This can be subjective; while analog can represent sound continuously, it doesn't imply it's superior overall, especially considering the benefits of digital processing and storage.)

So, the correct choice indeed is that a copy of an analog file is never as good as its original, which highlights the advantages of digital storage.
