Daily.
- C.

- D.

Correct Answer
C. Every 5 to 10 minutes or when an important change is made.Explanation
Saving work on the computer is important to prevent loss of data in case of unexpected events like power outages or system crashes. Saving every 5 to 10 minutes or when an important change is made ensures that the most recent changes are saved frequently, minimizing the risk of losing significant progress. Saving at least once an hour or daily may not be sufficient, as a lot of work can be lost in that time frame. Saving every 30 minutes may still result in loss of work if an important change was made shortly before the 30-minute mark.Rate this question:

- D.

Correct Answer
B. It will make your website and theirs run slowerExplanation
Linking to individual files or photos stored on websites can slow down the loading speed of both your website and the website where the files are hosted. This is because each time a visitor accesses your website, it needs to fetch the linked files from the external website, causing additional loading time. This can negatively impact user experience and discourage visitors from staying on your website. Therefore, it is generally advised to host the files directly on your own website or use appropriate methods, such as embedding or using content delivery networks, to optimize loading speed.Rate this question:

Using more than 20 seconds without proper permission or licensing would likely infringe on the copyright of the song. Therefore, it is important to adhere to the specified usage limit to avoid any legal issues.Rate this question:

Web pages and supporting documents have to be kept together because if they are separated, the web page will not be able to find the documents. This is because web pages often contain links or references to the supporting documents, such as images, stylesheets, or scripts. If these supporting documents are not located in the same directory or folder as the web page, the links or references will break, and the web page will not be able to display or function properly. Keeping the web pages and supporting documents together ensures that all necessary files are easily accessible and can be properly loaded by the web page.Rate this question:
