multiple choice
jermain wants to have a responsive device that can quickly surf the web and check email. which of the following would help his device to be more responsive?

• more ram
• more rom
• bigger hard drive
• bigger flash drive

Explanation:

To determine what makes a device more responsive for web surfing and email checking, we analyze each option:

• more RAM: Random Access Memory (RAM) is used for temporary data storage while the device is running. More RAM allows the device to handle multiple tasks (like web browsing and email) simultaneously by storing more data that the CPU can access quickly, thus improving responsiveness.
• more ROM: Read - Only Memory (ROM) stores the device's firmware (like the operating system's core files). It is not used for the temporary data processing needed for web surfing and email, so it doesn't affect responsiveness.
• bigger hard drive: A hard drive (or storage device) is for long - term data storage (like files, programs). It doesn't impact the speed of running tasks like web surfing and email checking directly.
• bigger flash drive: A flash drive is an external storage device. It is used for transferring or storing data externally and has no direct impact on the device's internal responsiveness for web and email tasks.

So, more RAM is the correct choice as it directly impacts the device's ability to handle the tasks quickly.

Answer:

A. more RAM
