    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Looking at the keyboard while typing can slow down the typing speed and increase the chances of making mistakes. When a person becomes proficient in typing, they develop muscle memory and can type without looking at the keyboard. This allows them to focus on the screen or the content they are typing, resulting in faster and more accurate typing. Therefore, it is recommended to never look at the keyboard while typing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Never! Always keep your hands on the home row!!
    Explanation
    It is important to keep your hands on the home row when typing because it allows for faster and more accurate typing. The home row consists of the keys ASDF for the left hand and JKL; for the right hand. By keeping your hands on these keys, you can easily reach all other keys on the keyboard without having to look down or move your hands too much. This helps to maintain a good typing posture and reduces the risk of developing repetitive strain injuries.
