    • Keyboard

    Correct Answer
    A. Monitor
    Explanation
    An output device is a device that displays or presents information from a computer. In this case, the correct answer is "Monitor" because it is a display device that visually presents the output of a computer. The mouse and keyboard are input devices used to input data into the computer, so they are not considered output devices.

    Many menu choices and toolbar icons do the same thing. Why would you use a toolbar icon instead of the menu?

    • Using icons is faster for common tasks.

    • Icons give you more options than menus.

    • Menus and icons both allow you to access many of the same commands.

    Correct Answer
    A. Using icons is faster for common tasks.
    Explanation
    Using icons is faster for common tasks because they provide a visual representation of the action, allowing users to quickly identify and select the desired command without having to navigate through multiple menu options. Icons are usually placed in a prominent location on the toolbar, making them easily accessible and reducing the time required to perform frequently used actions. This saves users time and improves efficiency in completing tasks.

This allows users to easily locate and access the commands they need, as they are organized in a logical and intuitive manner.
