os, word processing, antivirus
nic, modem, wiring
mouse, keyboard, monitor
printer, internet, wan

1. what translates domain names into ip addresses?

dns
ram
cpu
nic

Explanation:

1. For the first question:

• OS (Operating System), word - processing, and antivirus are software. A mouse, keyboard, and monitor are input/output devices for a single computer. A printer is an output device, and the Internet and WAN (Wide - Area Network) are network concepts rather than hardware. NIC (Network Interface Card), modem, and wiring are all hardware components used in a network.

1. For the second question:

• DNS (Domain Name System) is specifically designed to translate domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1). RAM (Random - Access Memory) is for data storage and retrieval during program execution. CPU (Central Processing Unit) is for processing instructions. NIC is for network connection at the hardware level but not for domain - to - IP translation.

Answer:

1. NIC, modem, wiring
2. DNS
