V. Read the passage about benefits of an interactive whiteboard, and then answer the questions.
 What Are the Benefits of an Interactive Whiteboard?
 Imagine a whiteboard on which you can not only write but also play videos, show interactive 
presentations and recall previously erased information. That's what an interactive whiteboard does 
using a special touch-sensitive whiteboard in conjunction with a computer and projector to receive 
commands and display information.
 One of the most significant advantages of 
 interactive whiteboards is that they enable far greater 
 participation than traditional whiteboards. For 
 example, interactive whiteboards can be used in 
 conjunction with individual devices that enable 
 participants or an audience to answer questions or 
 vote from their seats and have their responses 
 collected instantly on the whiteboard. They also 
 enable people to manipulate information in ways 
that wouldn't be possible or practical on a regular whiteboard, such as tapping to perform calculations 
on the screen, reveal layers of information, or moving information around with the tip of a finger.
 All of the information on an interactive whiteboard actually comes from a connected computer 
and is simply projected onto the whiteboard. This means whatever you do on the whiteboard can be 
recorded directly to a hard drive and even transported on portable storage. This enables you to recall 
and reuse the information, such as the results of a brainstorming session, any time. By contrast, data 
on a traditional whiteboard must be copied manually or lost when erased.
 There are a variety of visuals that can be used with interactive whiteboards. Videos can be 
uploaded from websites or previously saved files. Additionally, entire presentations can be uploaded 
onto an interactive whiteboard. You can display and manipulate complex images and graphics. All 
of this can create a more engaging presentation which can help keep the audience's attention.
 Particularly for students, an advantage of interactive whiteboards is that they give students a 
chance to interact extensively with technology. Particularly, if students are allowed to use the 
whiteboards for their own presentations, the use of an interactive whiteboard can be a great way to 
introduce students to electronic devices and a variety of software.
