CompTIA A+ (220-901) — Question 28

A technician connects a second monitor to a desktop. It is physically located to the right of the existing monitor, but the mouse pointer can only get to the second monitor by moving to the left edge of the screen of the first monitor. Which of following display settings needs to be adjusted to get the pointer to move with the physical placement of the monitor?

Answer options

• A. Scaling
• B. Rotation
• C. Position
• D. Resolution

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Position, because adjusting the position of the monitors in the display settings allows the mouse cursor to flow seamlessly between them based on their physical arrangement. Options A (Scaling), B (Rotation), and D (Resolution) do not affect the spatial alignment between monitors and thus would not resolve the issue of cursor movement.
