Question

Question 1: Read the following passage about computer files. Then read the passage again, and identify the nouns you find. All the information on a computer system is stored in computer files. To give you a better understanding of what a computer file is and how it’s stored by your computer, let’s look at a typical paper file system. Most people store a variety of information, such as bills, receipts, special instructions, and manuals, either at work or at home. These items are kept for future use. Now, if we scatter these items across a table or desk, the information is very hard to find. Therefore, most people store items in individual file folders. People often attach labels to each folder, so it’s easy to determine what’s in each file folder. The name on the label represents the information in the file. Labeling this way makes it easier to find information. Computer files are like paper files. Information that’s used by a computer is stored in electronic files. Each file folder is given a name by the user. The name given to each computer file is called the filename.
