    • Screen

    • Mouse

    • Hard drive

    • Usb

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard drive
    Explanation
    The hard drive is the correct answer because it is the part of a computer that stores information enabling the computer to run.

    True or false? It is important to understand a computer’s file management system in order to save work in the right place.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Understanding a computer's file management system is important to save work in the right place. This is because a file management system organizes and stores files in a structured manner, making it easier to locate and access them when needed. Without understanding how the system works, there is a higher chance of saving files in the wrong location, leading to difficulties in finding and retrieving them later on. Therefore, having knowledge of the file management system is crucial for efficient and effective file organization and storage.

    True or False A digital camera is a camera that converts photos into digital images that can be loaded directly into a computer.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A digital camera is a type of camera that captures photos and converts them into digital images. These digital images can then be easily transferred and loaded directly into a computer for viewing, editing, and sharing. This is in contrast to traditional film cameras, where the photos need to be developed before they can be viewed or transferred to a computer. Therefore, the statement that a digital camera converts photos into digital images that can be loaded directly into a computer is true.

    An amendment is indeed a change or improvement in a document. It refers to the act of making alterations or modifications to an existing document, such as a law, contract, or constitution. This change can be made to correct errors, update information, or address any shortcomings in the original document.

    True or False? A footrest is helpful when the desk or chair at a workstation cannot be adjusted.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A footrest is helpful when the desk or chair at a workstation cannot be adjusted because it provides support and helps to maintain proper posture. When the desk or chair cannot be adjusted to the appropriate height, using a footrest can help to align the body and reduce strain on the legs and lower back. It also helps to improve blood circulation and prevent discomfort or pain that may occur from sitting for long periods of time. Therefore, it is true that a footrest is helpful when the desk or chair at a workstation cannot be adjusted.

    Photoshop would be the best software to use to work with photographic imagery because it is specifically designed for photo editing and manipulation. It offers a wide range of tools and features that allow users to enhance, retouch, and modify images with precision and control. Photoshop also supports various file formats and has advanced capabilities such as layers, filters, and adjustments, making it a versatile and powerful tool for working with photographic imagery.

    True or False? A printer is an input device

    • True

    • False

    Explanation
    A printer is not an input device but rather an output device. Input devices are used to input data into a computer system, while printers are used to produce hard copies or output of the data that has already been processed by the computer. Therefore, the statement "A printer is an input device" is false.

    A. True
    Explanation
    The correct answer is true. Positioning the computer screen so that the center is approximately 15 degrees below eye level helps to reduce strain on the eyes and neck. This position allows for a more comfortable viewing angle and helps to prevent eye fatigue and neck pain that can occur from looking up or down at the screen for extended periods of time.

Unlike a mouse, which is an input device used for navigating and interacting with a computer, a scanner is specifically designed for capturing and digitizing physical documents or images. A hard drive is a storage device used to store data, while a drawing tablet is an input device used for digital drawing and sketching.
