    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Right index finger because when typing on a standard QWERTY keyboard, the "h" key and "j" key are both located in the middle row and are positioned directly under the right index finger when the hand is in the home row position.

    A. With any of the thumbs
    Explanation
    The space bar on a keyboard can be struck by either the left thumb or the right thumb. This is because the space bar is located in the middle of the keyboard, making it easily accessible to both thumbs. It is a common practice for typists to use either thumb to press the space bar while typing.

    • Top of monitor at eyes level

    • Put your feet on the desk

    Correct Answer
    A. Put your feet on the desk
    Explanation
    Putting your feet on the desk is not okay for the ideal workstation. This is because it can lead to poor posture and discomfort while working. The ideal workstation promotes proper ergonomics, which includes sitting with a straight back, forming a 90° angle with the forearm and arm, and having the top of the monitor at eye level. Placing your feet on the desk can disrupt this proper alignment and may cause strain or fatigue in the body.
