Question

Accepted Answer

To solve this, we match each computer function with its hardware component:

### Input (devices that send data to the computer):
- Keyboard (used to type input)
- Microphone (captures audio input)

### Processing (components that process data):
- CPU (Central Processing Unit, processes instructions)
- RAM (Random Access Memory, temporary data processing/storage)

### Long - term storage (devices that store data permanently):
- Hard disk (stores large amounts of data long - term)
- DVD - RW (can store data long - term, rewritable)

### Output (devices that present processed data):
- Printer (prints output like documents)
- Speakers (output audio)

So the matches are:
- Input: Keyboard, Microphone
- Processing: CPU, RAM
- Long - term storage: Hard disk, DVD - RW
- Output: Printer, Speakers

If we were to drag and drop:
- Input → Keyboard, Microphone
- Processing → CPU, RAM
- Long - term storage → Hard disk, DVD - RW
- Output → Printer, Speakers
