Explanation:

First Question:

Computer hardware refers to physical, tangible components of a computer. A keyboard, memory (physical chips), and CPU are all physical hardware parts. A word processing program is software, an intangible set of instructions, not hardware.

Second Question:

RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory:

• It loses all stored data when the computer is powered off, so it is nonpersistent and temporary storage.
• Its primary function is to provide a fast, temporary space for applications to store and access data while they are actively running. It is not persistent storage (that is the role of devices like hard drives or SSDs).

Answer:

1. 4) word processing program
2. Nonpersistent storage of data; Temporary storage; Gives applications a place to store data while running
