Answer
(i) An advantage of Internet is that it provides access to a wide range of resources, including articles, research papers, multimedia content, and the latest news, allowing the pupil to access the most current and relevant information for their school project.
(ii) One advantage of using a CD-ROM rather than the Internet is that it does not require an active internet connection to access the information. CD-ROMs are self-contained and can be accessed directly from the computer's CD-ROM drive, making them a reliable source of information even in areas with limited or no internet access.
