Let's solve the
Computer Basics worksheet step by step, based on general computer knowledge. Since the previous page (Page 1) is not provided, I’ll answer using standard computer fundamentals.

1. Name the four basic components of a computer system:
The four basic components of a computer system are:
1.
Input devices – Devices that allow users to send data or commands to the computer (e.g., keyboard, mouse).
2.
Output devices – Devices that display or transmit processed information from the computer (e.g., monitor, printer).
3.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) – The "brain" of the computer that processes instructions.
4.
Memory (RAM) – Temporary storage used by the CPU to hold data and instructions while processing.
✔ So, the four basic components are:
- Input devices
- Output devices
- CPU
- Memory
*(Note: Some sources list "storage" instead of memory, but in basic education, memory and storage are often separated. Here, since it's a kids' worksheet, "memory" likely refers to RAM.)*

2. What component of a computer is considered the "brain" of a computer?
✔ Answer: CPU
- The CPU (Central Processing Unit) performs most of the processing inside a computer, executing instructions from programs.
>
✔ Correct choice:
O CPU

3. Select an item that would be used as output device on a computer system.
Output devices show or send processed information to the user.
Options:
- O monitor →
✔ Yes, displays visual output.
- O joystick →
✘ Input device (used for gaming)
- O mouse →
✘ Input device
- O keyboard →
✘ Input device
✔ Correct answer: monitor
