PART B: True or False Questions (1-20)
Instructions: Write 'T' if the statement is true and 'F' if the statement is false.
1. T The CPU is often referred to as the brain of the computer.
2. F The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is responsible for controlling the fetch-
decode-execute cycle. (Correction: This is the primary role of the Control Unit).
3. F Registers are a type of secondary storage with very large capacity.
(Correction: Registers are small, high-speed temporary storage locations inside the
CPU).
4. T RAM is a volatile memory, meaning it loses its contents when power is turned
off.
5. F ROM is a read-and-write memory that constantly changes as the computer
operates. (Correction: ROM is 'Read-Only Memory'; its contents are permanent and
not changed during normal operation).
6. T A byte is composed of 8 bits.
7. T The motherboard is also known as the system board.
8. F The data bus is used to carry control signals between the CPU and other
components. (Correction: The data bus carries data; the control bus carries control
signals).
9. T Secondary storage devices, like hard disks, are non-volatile.
10. F Magnetic tape allows for direct random access to any piece of data.
(Correction: Data on magnetic tape must be accessed sequentially).
11. T A DVD-ROM is a read-only optical storage medium.
12. F A keyboard is classified as an output device. (Correction: A keyboard is an
input device).
13. F An optical mouse uses a rolling ball to detect movement. (Correction: An
optical mouse uses a laser; a mechanical mouse uses a ball).
14. F A scanner is an output device that produces hardcopy documents. (Correction:
A scanner is an input device; a printer is an output device for hardcopy).
15. T A monitor is an example of a softcopy output device.
16. F Impact printers, like laser printers, are very quiet. (Correction: Laser
printers are non-impact and quiet; impact printers are noisy).
17. T System software includes programs like operating systems and language
translators.
18. F The primary function of application software is to control the computer's
hardware. (Correction: This is the function of system software).
19. T Microsoft PowerPoint is an example of application software.
20. T Utility software includes programs like disk cleanup and antivirus tools.
