    When there are files that you no longer need or want you put them in

    • Desktop

    • GUI

    • Icon

    • Recycle bin

    Correct Answer
    A. Recycle bin
    Explanation
    When you no longer need or want files, you can put them in the recycle bin. The recycle bin acts as a temporary storage for files that are deleted from your computer. It allows you to recover or permanently delete the files later on. This helps in organizing and managing your files effectively by providing a convenient way to discard unwanted files without immediately deleting them permanently.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Mouse
    A. Keyboard
    A. 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.

    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.

Therefore, the operating system is a type of software that enables the functioning of a computer system.

It is typically displayed on the right side of the window and consists of a vertical bar with an indicator that represents the current position.

    One disadvantage of using internet  instead of  researching in books is

    • Internet has more information

    • Internet information is not completely reliable

    • Internet does not use paper

    • Internet is cheaper

    Correct Answer

Unlike books, which are typically vetted by publishers and undergo a rigorous editing process, anyone can publish information on the internet. This means that there is a higher risk of encountering inaccurate or misleading information online. Therefore, when using the internet for research, it is important to critically evaluate the sources and cross-reference information to ensure its reliability.

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

    • Fixed phone

    • Cell phone

    • Video conference

    • 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.

    • Play marbles

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Play board games
    A. Play marbles
    Explanation
    The correct answer is play board games and play marbles. These activities were popular among grandparents as a form of entertainment before the invention of video games. Board games allowed them to engage in social interaction and strategic thinking, while playing marbles was a physical and competitive outdoor game.

    • Brain and heart

    • Thoughts and feelings

    • Arms and legs

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer

    Explanation

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.
