Pressing ENTER at the end of a line is a/an
- A.
Automatic enter
- B.

- C.
Hard return
- D.
Keyboard return
Correct Answer
C. Hard returnExplanation
A hard return refers to the action of pressing the ENTER key on a keyboard, which creates a new paragraph or starts a new line in a document or text editor. It is called a "hard" return because it inserts a visible line break, forcing the text to move to the next line. This is different from a soft return, which is a line break that is automatically inserted when the text reaches the end of a line without the need for the ENTER key. Therefore, pressing ENTER at the end of a line is considered a hard return.Rate this question:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that affects the wrists. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the hand, becomes compressed or squeezed at the wrist.

Correct posture is not necessary to prevent CTS.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is incorrect. Correct posture is necessary to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Maintaining proper posture while working or performing activities that involve repetitive hand movements can help reduce strain on the wrists and prevent compression of the median nerve, which is the main cause of CTS. Incorrect posture, such as slouching or bending the wrists excessively, can increase the risk of developing CTS. Therefore, it is important to maintain good posture to prevent CTS.Rate this question:

The best position for your feet is flat on the floor.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The best position for your feet is flat on the floor because it promotes proper posture and alignment of the spine. When your feet are flat on the floor, it helps distribute your body weight evenly, reducing strain on your back and legs. This position also allows for better stability and balance, which is important for maintaining a comfortable and ergonomic position while sitting or standing for long periods of time.Rate this question:

Proper wrist position means laying your wrists on the table or desk.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Proper wrist position does not necessarily mean laying your wrists on the table or desk. While it is important to have a neutral wrist position to avoid strain and discomfort, this can be achieved by keeping the wrists straight and aligned with the forearms, whether they are resting on a surface or not. Laying the wrists on the table or desk is just one possible way to achieve this, but it is not the only correct position.Rate this question:
