    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Output devices do provide either a softcopy output or a hard copy output. Softcopy output refers to the display of information on a screen, such as a monitor or a projector. Hard copy output, on the other hand, refers to the physical printout of information, such as a document printed by a printer. Therefore, the statement that output devices do not provide a softcopy output or hard copy output is false.

    Which of the following is NOT an output device?

    • Microphone

    • Speaker

    • Printer

    • Monitor

    Correct Answer
    A. Microphone
    Explanation
    A microphone is not an output device because it is used to input sound into a computer or device, rather than outputting sound or displaying information. It is commonly used for recording audio or for voice input in applications like voice recognition or video conferencing. Output devices, on the other hand, are used to display or produce information from a computer or device, such as speakers for audio output, printers for printing documents, and monitors for displaying visual information.

    Select the category of output that is permanent.

    • Soft copy

    • Hard copy

    • Photocopy

    • Computer copy

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard copy
    Explanation
    A hard copy refers to a physical printout or document that is tangible and can be touched or held. Unlike soft copies, which are electronic files stored on a computer or other digital devices, hard copies are permanent and can be stored or archived for future reference. They are often preferred for important documents or records that need to be accessed or preserved over a long period of time.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A monitor is a form of hard copy output device.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A monitor is not a form of hard copy output device. A monitor is actually a form of soft copy output device, as it displays information on a screen rather than printing it on paper. Hard copy output devices, on the other hand, produce printed or tangible copies of data, such as printers or plotters.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Select the category of output that disappears.

    • Soft copy

    • Hard copy

    • Photocopy

    • Computer copy

    Correct Answer
    A. Soft copy
    Explanation
    A soft copy refers to a digital version of a document or file that is displayed on a computer screen or stored electronically. Unlike a hard copy, which is a physical printout of the document, a soft copy can be easily deleted or removed from the computer's memory or storage. Therefore, it is the category of output that disappears when referring to soft copies.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which is an example of a softcopy output device?

    • Head phone

    • Printer

    • Monitor

    • Speaker

    Correct Answer
    A. Monitor
    Explanation
    A monitor is an example of a softcopy output device because it displays information visually on a screen. Softcopy refers to digital or electronic data that is not printed on physical paper. Monitors are commonly used to view text, images, videos, and other visual content from computers or other electronic devices. Unlike a printer, which produces hardcopy output on paper, a monitor provides a softcopy output by displaying the information electronically. Headphones and speakers are not output devices, but rather input devices for audio.
