      Hardware and software

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Hardware
    Explanation
    The correct answer is hardware because hardware refers to the physical components of a computer that can be touched, such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and CPU. Software, on the other hand, refers to the programs and applications that run on the computer. Since the question specifically asks about touching a computer element, it implies that the answer should be related to the physical components of the computer, hence hardware is the correct choice.

      Mouse

    • B.

      Keyboard

      Operating system

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Mouse
    B. Keyboard
    C. Monitor
    Explanation
    The correct answer is mouse, keyboard, and monitor. These three elements are all hardware components of a computer system. A mouse is an input device that allows the user to interact with the computer by moving a cursor on the screen. A keyboard is also an input device that allows the user to input text and commands. A monitor is an output device that displays the visual output of the computer system. Operating system, on the other hand, is a software component that manages the computer's hardware and software resources.

      Hardware and software

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. Software
    Explanation
    The correct answer is software because an operating system is a set of programs that manage computer hardware resources and provide common services for computer programs. It acts as an intermediary between the hardware and software, allowing the software to interact with the hardware and perform tasks such as managing files, running applications, and controlling input/output devices. Therefore, the operating system is a type of software that enables the functioning of a computer system.

      Thoughts and feelings

      Arms and legs

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. Thoughts and feelings
    Explanation
    The correct answer is thoughts and feelings. This is because thoughts and feelings can be considered as the "software" of our body if we compare it to a computer. Just like software controls and influences the functioning of a computer, our thoughts and feelings control and influence our actions, behavior, and overall functioning. They shape our perception, decision-making, and emotional experiences, similar to how software programs shape the functioning of a computer.

    Losing calls if you are not at home is a disadvantage of

    • A.

      Fixed phone

    • B.

      Cell phone

    • C.

      Video conference

    • D.

      Chat

    Correct Answer
    A. Fixed phone
    Explanation
    Losing calls if you are not at home is a disadvantage of a fixed phone. This is because fixed phones are connected to a specific location and cannot be taken with you when you leave home. Therefore, if someone tries to call you when you are not at home, you will not be able to receive the call and it will be lost. On the other hand, cell phones, video conferences, and chat platforms are not limited to a specific location and can be used anywhere, allowing you to receive calls even when you are not at home.
