The IP ping works, but DNS resolution fails, indicating that a DNS server is not configured properly in /etc/resolv.conf. That file is responsible for DNS resolution.

The issue is that the administrator did not set the default target to graphical.target. A target is a unit of systemd that groups together other units by a common purpose or state. The graphical.target is a target that starts the graphical user interface (GUI) along with other services. The administrator used the command systemct1 isolate graphical.target to switch to this target temporarily, but this does not change the default target that is activated at boot time. To make this change permanent, the administrator should have used the command systemct1 set-default graphical.target, which creates a symbolic link from /etc/systemd/system/default.target to /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target.

The other options are not correct explanations for the issue. The administrator did reboot the server properly by using systemct1 reboot, which shuts down and restarts the system cleanly. The administrator did not need to set the default target to basic.target, which is a minimal target that only starts essential services. The administrator did not shut down the server improperly, which could have caused file system corruption or data loss, but not affect the default target. References: systemct1(1) - Linux manual page; How to Change Runlevels (targets) in SystemD

The RPM option -e should be used to remove software from the server. The rpm command is a tool for managing software packages on RPM-based Linux distributions. The -e option stands for erase and removes the specified package from the system. This is the correct option to use to accomplish the task. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist (-s or -d) or do not remove software (-q stands for query and displays information about the package). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 16: Managing Software, page 489.
