This helps to visually separate the elements being separated by the comma and make the sentence easier to read and understand.

    Correct Answer
    A. It could cause your eyes to be strained.
    Explanation
    If the monitor is too far away or too close to you, it could cause your eyes to be strained. This is because when the monitor is too far away, you may strain your eyes to see the content clearly, and when it is too close, your eyes may have to work harder to focus on the screen. Strained eyes can lead to symptoms such as eye fatigue, dryness, headaches, and blurry vision.

    The tab key is used to indent text in a document or code. When pressed, it moves the cursor to the next tab stop, which is typically set at a specific number of spaces or a predefined position. This is commonly used to create consistent and organized formatting in documents or to align elements in code.

Keeping the wrists straight also allows for better circulation and prevents discomfort or pain that can arise from prolonged computer use.
