1. The correct answer is printer.
To determine the correct answer among the options provided, you need to identify which device is considered an output device. An output device is a peripheral device that sends information from the computer to the user or other devices.
To answer this question, you can eliminate the options one by one.
Memory is not considered an output device but rather a storage component.
Keyboard is an input device, used to enter data into the computer.
The scanner is also an input device, used to convert physical documents or images into digital data.
Therefore, the only remaining option is the printer, which is primarily used to produce hard copies (outputs) of digital documents.
2. The correct answer is keyboard.
To answer this question, you need to identify which component is being described as an input device that allows the user to enter data and navigate through the system.
Among the given options:
- Mouse is an input device, but it is primarily used to control the cursor and select items on the screen.
- Scanner is also an input device, used to digitize physical documents or images.
- Printer is an output device, used to produce hard copies of digital documents.
Therefore, the correct answer is keyboard, which is an input device that allows users to enter data and navigate through the system by using keys.
3. The correct answer is Using Microsoft® Word to create a poster.
To answer this question, you need to identify the scenario that best incorporates the use of software on your computer.
Among the given options:
- Using your scanner to input information into your computer involves the use of hardware, not software.
- Using your keyboard to type a letter is a combination of both hardware (keyboard) and software (word processing program).
- Using a monitor to research famous artists involves accessing online resources using a browser, which is a software component.
Therefore, the correct answer is Using Microsoft® Word to create a poster, as it solely relies on software to generate the desired output.
