• Store and process data

• Display images and videos

• Connect and communicate between hardware components

Hannah is building a custom computer for her friend Ethan. She wants to ensure that the computer can execute instructions and perform calculations efficiently. Which component should she focus on while selecting the parts?

• Motherboard

• Hard Drive

• Graphics Card

• Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Zoe, Priya, and Emma are discussing the purpose of memory in a computer system. What do they agree is the primary purpose of memory in a computer system?

• To provide power to the computer system.

• To cool down the computer system.

• To connect the computer system to the internet.

• To store and retrieve data and instructions for the computer's processor.

Charlotte is building a custom computer for her friend Mia. She wants to add a new graphics card to the system. What are expansion slots used for in this context?

• Expansion slots are used to connect Mia's computer system to the internet.

• Expansion slots are used to add the graphics card as an additional hardware component to Mia's computer system.

• Expansion slots are used to store data in Mia's computer system.

• Expansion slots are used to increase the processing speed of Mia's computer system directly.

Scarlett, Mason, and Grace are working on a project to build a computer system. Why is it important for them to include a cooling system in their design?

• To increase the speed of the computer system.

• To save energy and reduce electricity consumption.

Elijah, Ava, and Ethan are working on a school project to build a computer system. They are discussing the function of expansion slots in their computer system. What would be the correct explanation?

• Expansion slots in their computer system would allow for the addition of hardware components.

• Expansion slots in their computer system would improve the performance of the operating system.

• Expansion slots in their computer system would allow for the removal of hardware components.

• Expansion slots in their computer system would be used for software installation.

Mia, Benjamin, and Avery are working on a project to build a computer system. They are discussing how to prevent the system from overheating. How does the cooling system they plan to install help in this regard?

• By insulating the components from heat

• By absorbing heat generated by the components

• By increasing the temperature of the components

• By dissipating heat generated by the components
