read - only memory (rom).
cpu.
motherboard.
random access memory (ram).

1. what is the purpose of an input device?

to convert computer language to analog
to send files to another computer
to get information into the computer
to get information out of the computer

Explanation:

1. Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM is volatile memory. When the computer is powered off, its data is lost. ROM (Read - Only Memory) retains data even when the power is off. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is for processing, not data storage in this context. The motherboard is the main circuit board, not a memory type that loses data on power - off.
2. Input Device Purpose: Input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse) are used to get information (such as user commands, data entry) into the computer. Converting computer language to analog is not a general input device function. Sending files to another computer is more related to network or transfer functions. Getting information out of the computer is the role of output devices (e.g., monitor, printer).

Answer:

1. random access memory (RAM)
2. to get information into the computer
