    If you want to save a file where it is easy to retrieve regardless of where you sit, you should?

    • Remember the file name

    • Navigate to the network drive and save in your folder so it is easy to find

    • Print the file.

    • Email it to yourself

    Correct Answer
    A. Navigate to the network drive and save in your folder so it is easy to find
    Explanation
    To ensure easy retrieval of a file regardless of where you sit, the best option is to navigate to the network drive and save the file in your designated folder. This allows you to access the file from any location within the network. Remembering the file name may not be reliable if there are multiple files or if the file name is easily forgettable. Printing the file or emailing it to yourself may not be as convenient or efficient as saving it in a network drive.

    Correct Answer
    A. You cannot hear the tone in the senders voice to tell if they are kidding or serious.
    Explanation
    When you text or email, messages are sometimes not clear because you cannot hear the tone in the sender's voice to tell if they are kidding or serious. Written messages lack the vocal inflections and nuances that help convey emotions and intentions. Without the ability to hear the tone, it becomes difficult to accurately interpret the message's meaning, leading to potential misunderstandings or confusion.

Therefore, all of the choices listed contribute to the seriousness of internet bullying.
