A sample question with the answer

1. Which kind of printer works by striking an inked ribbon against the paper, and can print on carbon copies at the same time?

Thermal printer
Inkjet printer
Dot-matrix printer
Laser printer

Answer: C) Dot-matrix printer

A dot-matrix printer is an impact printer: its pins hit a ribbon, so the pressure also marks the copies below.
