Which of the following is always required to connect to the Internet?
-
A Web browser
-
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
-
A domain name server
-
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Correct Answer
A. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)Explanation
TCP/IP is always required to connect to the Internet as it is the set of protocols that allows different devices to communicate and exchange data over the Internet. It provides the necessary rules and procedures for establishing and maintaining connections, as well as routing data packets between networks. Without TCP/IP, devices would not be able to connect to the Internet and communicate with each other effectively.Rate this question:

The rules that describe the ways that clients and servers communicate across a network are called:
-
Backbones.
-
Channels.
-
Packets.
-
Protocols.
Correct Answer
A. Protocols.Explanation
The rules that describe the ways that clients and servers communicate across a network are called protocols. Protocols are a set of rules and guidelines that determine the format, timing, sequencing, and error control of data transmission between devices. They ensure that data is transmitted accurately and efficiently across the network, allowing different devices and systems to communicate effectively. Backbones, channels, and packets are all components or elements within the network, but protocols are specifically responsible for governing the communication process.Rate this question:

Web addresses are called Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). A URL is a text string that specifies an Internet address and the method by which the address can be accessed. The protocol component of a URL identifies:
-
The name of the server on which the page resides.
-
The site owner's registered site.
-
The type of server and Internet service being used.
-
The organization type.
Correct Answer
A. The type of server and Internet service being used.Explanation
The protocol component of a URL identifies the type of server and Internet service being used. This is because the protocol specifies the rules and procedures for communication between different devices on the internet. It determines how data is transmitted, received, and displayed. By including the protocol in the URL, the browser knows which protocol to use to access the web page, such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc.Rate this question:

When you view a Web page, the images are downloaded to your computer. Where are they stored?
-
History folder
-
Cookie folder
-
Browser cache
-
Desktop
Correct Answer
A. Browser cacheExplanation
When you view a web page, the images are downloaded to your computer and stored in the browser cache. The browser cache is a temporary storage location on your computer where the browser keeps copies of web pages, images, and other files that you have accessed recently. Storing the images in the browser cache allows the browser to load the web page faster the next time you visit it, as it can retrieve the images from the cache instead of downloading them again from the internet.Rate this question:

In what ways can cookies be useful for Web site developers?
-
Cookies give developers access to Web site visitors' hard drive files.
-
Cookies inform the Web site manager about visitors' preferences.
-
Cookies are dangerous and should never be used in Web development.
-
Cookies enable developers to convey their preferences to Web site users.
Correct Answer
A. Cookies inform the Web site manager about visitors' preferences.Explanation
Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user's computer when they visit a website. These files contain information about the user's preferences and browsing behavior. By using cookies, website developers can track and analyze visitors' preferences, such as their preferred language, shopping cart items, or personalized settings. This information can then be used to enhance the user experience by providing personalized content, targeted advertisements, or remembering user preferences for future visits. Therefore, the correct answer is that cookies inform the website manager about visitors' preferences.Rate this question:

You want customers to use their credit cards to make purchases on your Web site. In order to ensure secure exchanges, you should consider using:
-
VPN.
-
TLS.
-
SSH.
-
XML.
Correct Answer
A. TLS.Explanation
To ensure secure exchanges on a website, TLS (Transport Layer Security) should be considered. TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over a network. It encrypts the data transmitted between the web server and the client, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the information. VPN (Virtual Private Network) is used to create a secure connection between a user and a private network, but it may not be necessary for secure credit card transactions on a website. SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol used for secure remote access to a computer, which is not directly related to web transactions. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a data format and does not provide secure exchanges on its own.Rate this question:

Which of the following is an event-driven scripting language used to create active content on a Web page?
-
C++
-
Java
-
JavaScript
-
C#
Correct Answer
A. JavaScriptExplanation
JavaScript is an event-driven scripting language used to create active content on a web page. Unlike C++, Java, and C#, which are primarily used for general-purpose programming, JavaScript is specifically designed for web development. It allows developers to add interactivity and dynamic functionality to websites by responding to user actions, such as clicks and inputs. JavaScript can manipulate HTML elements, handle events, and communicate with servers, making it an essential tool for creating engaging and interactive web pages.Rate this question:

The more terms you combine using the AND Boolean operator in a search:
-
The fewer results you will retrieve.
-
The more results you will retrieve.
-
The more likely you will be to generate a 404 error.
-
The more you expand the search to include information portals and newsgroups.
Correct Answer
A. The fewer results you will retrieve.Explanation
When using the AND Boolean operator in a search, it combines multiple terms to narrow down the search results. By doing so, it specifies that all the terms must be present in the results. Therefore, the more terms you combine using the AND operator, the more specific and restrictive the search becomes, leading to fewer results being retrieved.Rate this question:

A program that resides in active memory and replicates itself onto other systems is called:
-
An illicit server.
-
A trojan.
-
A virus.
-
A worm.
Correct Answer
A. A worm.Explanation
A program that resides in active memory and replicates itself onto other systems is called a worm. Unlike a trojan, which disguises itself as a legitimate program, a worm is self-replicating and does not need to attach itself to another program. It spreads independently, often through network vulnerabilities, and can cause harm by consuming system resources, spreading malware, or carrying out malicious actions. An illicit server refers to an unauthorized or illegal server, while a virus is a type of malware that attaches itself to other programs or files to spread and cause damage.Rate this question:

Whenever you receive program or patches or updates, you should:
-
Delete them so they do not interfere with your existing applications.
-
Apply them to all systems immediately.
-
Test them on one computer to ensure that they solve your problems without any unforeseen consequences.
-
Send them to all your colleagues and friends so they can apply them to their systems.
Correct Answer
A. Test them on one computer to ensure that they solve your problems without any unforeseen consequences.Explanation
When receiving program or patches or updates, it is important to test them on one computer first to ensure that they solve your problems without any unforeseen consequences. This step is necessary to avoid any potential issues or conflicts with existing applications. Applying them to all systems immediately or sending them to colleagues and friends without testing can lead to compatibility issues and unforeseen problems. Deleting them is not the right approach as they are meant to improve or fix issues in the existing system.Rate this question:
