An address book is a place where contact information is listed. It is typically a physical or digital book that contains names, addresses, phone numbers, and other contact details of individuals or organizations. It serves as a convenient reference for storing and retrieving contact information, making it easier to communicate and stay connected with others. Unlike Facebook, which is a social media platform, or a phone book, which specifically lists phone numbers, an address book encompasses a broader range of contact information. A textbook, on the other hand, is a different type of book that is used for educational purposes and does not focus on contact information.Rate this question:

This is useful when the sender wants to keep everyone in the loop and ensure that all recipients receive the response. Bcc is not the correct answer because it stands for blind carbon copy and is used to send a copy of an email to someone without the other recipients knowing.

Bcc is commonly used when sending mass emails or when the sender wants to keep the recipients' identities confidential.Rate this question:

Desktop computer
- B.
Laptop
- C.

- D.
PDA
Correct Answer
A. Desktop computerExplanation
People use their desktop computer in a single location because it is a stationary device that is not designed for portability. Unlike laptops or PDAs, which are designed to be carried around and used in various locations, desktop computers are typically set up in one specific area, such as a home office or a workplace. They are larger and have more components, making them less convenient to move around. Additionally, desktop computers are often connected to external peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, and mice, further limiting their mobility.Rate this question:
