User feedback can be evaluated in many ways. Which of the following methods is more quantitative than direct user feedback, and will provide indirect feedback from the majority of users who do not respond?
-
User surveys
-
Site server logs
-
Online e-mail links
-
Opt-in bulk mail services
Correct Answer
A. Site server logsExplanation
Site server logs are more quantitative than direct user feedback because they provide objective data about user behavior on a website. These logs record information such as the number of visitors, their click paths, the pages they visited, and the time spent on each page. This data can be analyzed to identify patterns and trends, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of user behavior. Unlike user surveys or online e-mail links, site server logs capture data from all users, including those who do not actively provide feedback. Opt-in bulk mail services may provide some indirect feedback, but it is not as quantitative or comprehensive as site server logs.Rate this question:

Jared is creating an interactive Web site that is expected to respond to heavy traffic. He needs to request new hardware in order to build a staging server. What requirement of the staging server should he be aware of when ordering the new hardware?
-
The staging server should have the same hardware and software configuration as the production server.
-
The staging server should have a different operating system from that of the production server for flexibility during testing.
-
The staging server should have a slower processor and less RAM than the production server because it is just a test server.
-
The staging server should have more RAM and a faster processor than the production server because testing is more intensive than production use.
Correct Answer
A. The staging server should have the same hardware and software configuration as the production server.Explanation
Jared should be aware that the staging server should have the same hardware and software configuration as the production server.

Which of the following would typically be found in the contents of an external style sheet?
-
P [margin: 1in]
-
P (margin: 1in)
-
P { margin: 1in }
-
Correct Answer
A. P { margin: 1in }Explanation
The correct answer is "P { margin: 1in }". This is the correct syntax for defining a CSS rule in an external style sheet. The "P" selector selects all paragraph elements, and the "margin: 1in" property sets the margin of the paragraphs to 1 inch. An external style sheet is a separate file that contains CSS rules and is linked to an HTML document using the tag. This allows for the separation of style and content, making it easier to maintain and update the styles across multiple pages.Rate this question:

Jason needs to create a table with four columns and six rows. Which of the following attributes must he include in the <td> tag to allow the first cell to span across the entire width of the table?
-
Colspan="4"
-
Colspan="6"
-

You have created a style sheet and applied it to every Web page on your site. After reviewing the updated pages, you notice that not all of the styles implemented by the style sheet were applied to some of the pages. Which of the following is the most plausible reason for this?
-
One style sheet cannot be applied to multiple pages.
-
Certain styles cannot be rendered the same on all pages.
-
Linked styles will be overridden by embedded or inline styles on the page.
-
Your site uses multiple linked style sheets, which are conflicting with one another.
Correct Answer
A. Linked styles will be overridden by embedded or inline styles on the page.Explanation
When a style sheet is applied to multiple web pages, the linked styles in the style sheet can be overridden by embedded or inline styles that are specifically defined within the individual pages. This means that if a particular page has its own embedded or inline styles, those styles will take precedence over the linked styles from the external style sheet. Thus, the most plausible reason for not all styles being applied to some pages is that the linked styles are being overridden by embedded or inline styles on those pages.Rate this question:

The best way to thwart a dictionary attack is by enforcing a:
-
Proxy server policy.
-
Strong password policy.
-
Restricted access policy.
-
Firewall configuration policy.
Correct Answer
A. Strong password policy.Explanation
A dictionary attack is a type of cyber attack where an attacker tries to gain unauthorized access to a system by systematically trying all possible words or combinations of words from a dictionary. Enforcing a strong password policy can help thwart such attacks as it requires users to create passwords that are complex and not easily guessable. Strong passwords typically include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, making it difficult for attackers to crack them using dictionary-based techniques.Rate this question:

-
Filtering traffic at the firewall
-
Changing passwords on a regular basis
-
Installing Apache server rather than Microsoft IIS
-
Placing the database and the Web server on separate systems
Correct Answer
A. Filtering traffic at the firewallExplanation
Filtering traffic at the firewall helps stop a denial-of-service (DOS) attack by blocking or filtering out the malicious packets sent by the attacker. By configuring the firewall to only allow legitimate traffic to reach the web server, the excessive ICMP or TCP packets sent by the attacker can be blocked, preventing the server from crashing. This technique helps protect the server and ensures that only valid traffic is allowed to access the web server.Rate this question:

-
The Web server's available bandwidth
-
The Web server's authentication mechanisms
-
The TCP/IP software installed on the Web server
-
The log file mechanisms that exist on the Web server
Correct Answer
A. The Web server's authentication mechanismsExplanation
A brute-force attack is a method used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to a system by systematically trying all possible combinations of passwords or encryption keys until the correct one is found. In this case, the correct answer is "The Web server's authentication mechanisms" because brute-force attacks target the authentication mechanisms of a web server, such as login forms or password authentication systems, in order to gain access to restricted areas or sensitive information. By repeatedly trying different combinations of usernames and passwords, the attacker hopes to find the correct credentials and bypass the authentication process.Rate this question:

Without a text-based alternative, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing will not be able to access the audio content. Therefore, it is necessary to remove this content to ensure compliance with accessibility standards.Rate this question:

What is the name for colors that create black when mixed together?
-
Radial
-
Additive
-
Subtractive
-
Transitional
Correct Answer
A. SubtractiveExplanation
Subtractive colors are the ones that create black when mixed together. This is because they absorb light and reflect very little, if any, back to our eyes. When all the colors in the subtractive color model (cyan, magenta, and yellow) are combined, they absorb all the light, resulting in the absence of color or black. Therefore, the correct answer is Subtractive.Rate this question:

You are using a style sheet. Which of the following examples of code are best suited for crossplatform design?
-
Font-family: bold, italics;
-
Font-family=monotype, courier
-
Font-family: Impact, Verdana, Geneva;
-
Font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
Correct Answer
A. Font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;Explanation
The code "font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" is best suited for cross-platform design because it specifies a list of font families that are commonly available on different operating systems and devices. This ensures that the text will be displayed consistently across various platforms, as it will try to use the first font family in the list, and if not available, it will fall back to the next one, and so on. This approach increases the chances of the text being rendered correctly regardless of the user's device or operating system.Rate this question:
