解説
問 56
Incorrectア
A key pressed to input a line break, or to confirm the conversion in Japanese input conversion, describes the “Enter (confirm) key,” not the numeric keypad. There is an Enter key inside the numeric keypad, but that is not the definition of the numeric keypad as a whole.
- イ
正解 The numeric keypad (ten-key) is the part where, like a calculator, the number keys (0-9) and the keys related to the four arithmetic operations are grouped together in one place, provided so that numeric values or calculation formulas can be entered quickly. On many full-size keyboards it is placed at the far right. Choice イ exactly matches this definition of “an area that groups together the number keys and keys related to arithmetic operations,” so it is the correct answer.
Incorrectウ
A specific combination of keys that lets you execute, by simply pressing them, a function normally selected and run from a menu with a mouse describes the “shortcut key,” which has nothing to do with the numeric keypad.
Incorrectエ
Keys provided to be assigned the execution of specific functions, such as F1, F2, and F3, describe the “function key,” which is a different thing from the numeric keypad used for numeric input.
ここがポイント
- Grasp the definition of the numeric keypad (ten-key): an area that groups together the number keys and the keys related to operations, used for quickly entering numeric values and calculation formulas.
- Be able to distinguish it from other key terms such as the Enter key, the shortcut key, and the function key.
