Question 22. CSCD240-E1-A
3 jobs: 1) firefox 2) gedit 3) code. Bring kate to foreground — give the command.
Work the drill
Answer on paper or in a terminal before revealing the ideal answer.
Ideal answer
There is no job kate in the list — no command can bring it forward. Any fg attempt fails.
Misconception bank
Each row below is a plausible wrong answer, the thinking that produces it, and the remedy that corrects the misconception. These are the foundation of the multiple-choice framing and the targeted feedback a student receives after answering.
fg %4
Misconception. Assumes a 4th unlisted job exists.
Remedy. Reinforce: read the question carefully, only listed jobs exist.
fg %kate
Misconception. Syntax-valid but kate is not a tracked job — error: "fg: %kate: no such job".
Remedy. Demo the failure live.
fg %1
Misconception. Brings firefox, not kate — misreads the trick.
Remedy. Literal reading: the question asks kate, not the first job.
