The question asked about the electronic circuitry that executes instructions, also known as a central processor or main processor.

CPU Cooler/ fan

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'CPU Cooler/ Fan'. It keeps the CPU from overheating by dissipating the heat produced by the CPU's operation. Other options like the 'Case Fan' and 'Ice' might help in cooling but are not directly responsible for keeping the CPU cool. 'CUP Fan' seems like a typographical error.

Random Access Memory (working memory-temporary)

Answer explanation

The question is asking for the definition of Memory (RAM). The correct choice is 'Random Access Memory (working memory)'. RAM is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. The other options, 'A large male goat', 'A big Dodge truck', and 'Sticks of goodness' are clearly unrelated to the context of the question.

These are the slots on the motherboard where additional hardware components can be connected, allowing for the expansion of the system's capabilities. The term 'CPU' refers to the central processing unit, and 'Huh?' is not a relevant choice.
