CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 613

A technician connects an additional monitor to a PC using a USB port. The original HDMI monitor is mounted to the left of the new monitor. When moving the mouse to the right from the original monitor to the new monitor, the mouse stops at the end of the screen on the original monitor. Which of the following will allow the mouse to correctly move to the new monitor?

Answer options

• A. Rearranging the monitor's position in display settings
• B. Swapping the cables for the monitors
• C. Using the Ctrl+Alt+=> to correct the display orientation
• D. Updating the display drivers for the video card

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because rearranging the monitors in the display settings will align their positions correctly, allowing the mouse to transition smoothly between them. The other options do not address the issue of monitor arrangement; swapping cables (B) does not change how the displays are configured, using the Ctrl+Alt+=> command (C) pertains to screen rotation, and updating drivers (D) is unrelated to the mouse pointer's movement between monitors.
