D. Long Answer Questions
1.Which of the following suggestions should you not follow while typing, and why?
Options:
A. Keep your keyboard home-row height as close to elbow level as possible
B. Center the space bar with your body
C. Avoid hunt-and-peck typing as it causes neck strain
D. Bend your wrists while typing so that your wrists are elevated
E. Use more force than needed to press the keys
F. When you are not typing, make sure to rest your arms and wrists
G. Take a break from typing every 20–30 minutes
H. Always type on a slanted keyboard rather than a flat one
Answer:
You should not follow option D and E.
Bending your wrists while typing (D) puts pressure on the nerves and can cause pain or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Using more force than needed to press the keys (E) causes unnecessary strain on fingers and hands.
Good typing posture requires relaxed fingers, straight wrists, and light key pressure.
2.List the benefits of touch typing.
Answer:
Touch typing offers many advantages:
Increased speed: Typists can type faster without looking at the keyboard.
Better accuracy: Reduces typing mistakes and improves precision.
Improved focus: Eyes remain on the screen, increasing concentration on content.
Reduced fatigue: Proper hand placement and posture minimize strain.
Professional efficiency: Saves time and boosts productivity in offices and schools.
3.Why is it important to sit in a correct posture while typing?
Answer:
Correct posture ensures comfort, prevents back and neck pain, and improves typing efficiency.
Sitting upright with feet flat on the floor keeps the spine aligned.
Wrists and forearms should be level with the keyboard to prevent strain.
Good posture also helps maintain focus for long periods without fatigue.
4.How will you analyse your performance such as speed or accuracy in Rapid Typing software?
Answer:
In Rapid Typing software:
After completing a lesson, the software automatically displays your typing speed (words per minute) and accuracy percentage.
You can view detailed statistics in the Results tab, which shows errors, time, and key-press data.
You can also compare previous sessions to track your improvement.
This helps in identifying weak areas and planning targeted practice.
