Answer 1

1. Multiple Choice
Answer: B. Switch

2. Multiple Choice
Answer: B. Connect networks and direct data traffic

3. Short Answer
Example: A switch — it connects lots of computers and devices inside the same network (like in a classroom or office) and forwards each message only to the correct device, so files, printers, and games can be shared quickly.

4. Reflection (in 8th grader terms)
Networking is important because it lets people share stuff and work together faster. In schools it means teachers can give out assignments online, students can save work to a central place, and everyone can use the same printers and internet. In businesses it helps coworkers send emails, share big files, back up important data, and work together even from different buildings. This saves time, money, and makes communication easier.
