Questions 23 – 24 refer to the following description

Computer Keyboards

A keyboard is one of the most common input devices used with

computers. It allows the user to key in programs and data and to control the
computer system. The alphabetic and numeric keys are arranged in the same
order as a typewriter. This layout is known as QWERTY because these are the
first six letters on the top left of the keyboard.
Letters, numbers, symbols and blank spaces are known as characters.
Computer keyboards have all the characters found on typewriters. In
addition, they have some extra characters and some keys that do not produce
characters but have special uses.
As with electric typewriters, most keys are auto-repeating. This means
that, if they are held down, they repeat the same function again and again
until they are released.
Unlike a typewriter, when using a computer keyboard, it is particularly
important not to confuse the number 0 key with the letter o key and the
number 1 with the letter ℓ.

23. After reading the passage, we know that ....

A. computer keyboards are exactly the same as typewriters
B. typewriters are totally different from computer keyboards
C. computer keyboards have more functions than typewriters
D. typewriters have better functions than computer keyboards

A. It repeats the function.
B. It cancels the function.
C. The function will be error.
D. It doesn’t influence the function.
