Question Focus: Identifying the main processing part of the computer shown in the diagram
Correct Answer: central processing unit
Passage Reference: The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is like the brain of the computer. It has a rectangular shape. It processes each and every function in the computer.
Why this is correct: The diagram points to the rectangular box, which is the main unit of the computer. The passage clearly says the Central Processing Unit is like the brain of the computer, so this label fits perfectly.
Common Mistake: Some students write CPU only. This is risky because the passage gives the full form. Using the complete phrase avoids a word form trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is like the brain' = Diagram: 'label the main computer unit'
Tips: For diagram labels, always use the full name if it appears clearly in the passage.
Key Vocabulary:
- processing = handling
- unit = main part
Question Focus: Identifying the screen of the computer
Correct Answer: monitor
Passage Reference: Monitor is the black screen, an output device which displays the information in a visual or textual form.
Why this is correct: The diagram shows the screen at the front of the computer. The passage describes the monitor as the black screen that displays information, so this matches exactly.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes write screen, but this word is not used in the passage. This is a synonym trap. You must copy the exact word.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'Monitor is the black screen' = Diagram: 'label the computer screen'
Tips: Never replace a passage word with your own synonym in FIB questions.
Key Vocabulary:
- display = show
- visual = seen
Question Focus: Identifying the pointing device used to click
Correct Answer: mouse
Passage Reference: Computer has a mouse. As the name implies, the shape of the mouse is similar to the mouse. It allows the people to move and click the contents in the computer. It has two buttons.
Why this is correct: The diagram points to the small hand-held device. The passage says a mouse allows people to move and click contents, which matches this part.
Common Mistake: Some students write pointing device. This idea is correct but the words are not in the passage. This is a synonym trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'allows the people to move and click' = Diagram: 'device used for clicking'
Tips: If the diagram shows a very common object, still check the exact word used in the passage.
Key Vocabulary:
- click = press
- contents = items
Question Focus: Identifying the typing device
Correct Answer: keyboard
Passage Reference: Keyboard is connected to the computer. Keyboard has various buttons to type the text and to do several other functions.
Why this is correct: The diagram shows the flat board with keys. The passage explains that the keyboard is used to type the text, so this label is correct.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes write keypad, which is different. This is a paraphrase trap because it changes the meaning.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'Keyboard has various buttons to type' = Diagram: 'label the typing device'
Tips: Look for verbs like 'type' or 'print' to help identify the correct device.
Key Vocabulary:
- type = write
- functions = tasks
Question Focus: Identifying the printing device
Correct Answer: printer
Passage Reference: Printer is not necessarily connected to the computer through wire. It print papers by clicking the print option on the computer.
Why this is correct: The diagram points to the machine used to produce paper copies. The passage clearly says a printer is used to print papers, so this is the correct label.
Common Mistake: Some students write scanner because it looks similar. This is a context shift trap. The passage never mentions scanning.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'print papers by clicking the print option' = Diagram: 'label the printing machine'
Tips: Always match the function described in the passage with the device in the diagram.
Key Vocabulary:
- print = produce on paper
- option = choice
General Tips:
- Diagram label questions use exact words from the passage. Do not invent new terms.
- The answers usually come in the same order as the passage description.
- Check the word limit carefully. One clear word is often enough.
- Look at what the diagram part does, then find the sentence describing that function.
