    Correct Answer
    A. This is the page an Internet browser looks for first.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "this is the page an Internet browser looks for first." When a user enters a website URL into their browser, the browser automatically looks for a file named "index.htm" or "index.html" in the website's root directory. This is a convention followed by web browsers to ensure that the user is directed to the main page of the website. Other names can be used for the first page, but using "index.htm" or "index.html" is a common practice to maintain consistency and make it easier for browsers to find the initial page.

    When working on the computer, work should be saved

    • At least once an hour.

    • Daily.

    • Every 5 to 10 minutes or when an important change is made.

    • Every 30 minutes.

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    Correct Answer
    A. Depends upon the copyright for the picture.
    Explanation
    The answer "Depends upon the copyright for the picture" is correct because the use of an awesome picture found on the Internet on a web page depends on whether the picture is protected by copyright. If the picture is copyrighted, the owner's permission is required to use it. If the picture is in the public domain or has a Creative Commons license that allows for its use, then it can be used on the web page.

    • Dreamweaver requires it.

    A. The web page will not be able to find the documents if separated.
    Explanation
    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.

    A. It will make your website and theirs run slower
    Explanation
    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.

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.
