In what scenario would you consider using a wireless USB adapter?

To extend the printer's cable length
To connect a desktop computer to a wireless network
To improve monitor resolution
To increase CPU performance

The correct answer is: To connect a desktop computer to a wireless network

Using a wireless USB adapter is particularly advantageous when you want to connect a desktop computer to a wireless network. This device allows a desktop, which may not have built-in wireless capabilities, to communicate over Wi-Fi without the need for physical network cables. In this scenario, the wireless USB adapter serves as a bridge between the desktop computer and the wireless signals from a router or access point, facilitating internet connectivity and network access in environments where running Ethernet cables is impractical or inconvenient. The other choices are not relevant to the function of a wireless USB adapter. For instance, extending a printer's cable length pertains to physical connectivity rather than network access. Improving monitor resolution relates to graphical output and screen performance, which is unrelated to networking. Increasing CPU performance focuses on the processing capabilities of the computer and also does not involve network connectivity. Hence, the selection of connecting a desktop computer to a wireless network is the most appropriate use of a wireless USB adapter.
