    • Blog

    Correct Answer
    A. Website
    Explanation
    A group of World Wide Web pages usually containing links to each other and made available online by an individual, company or organization is called a website. A website is a collection of related web pages that are accessed through a common domain name and can be used for various purposes such as providing information, selling products or services, or sharing content. It is a fundamental component of the internet and allows individuals and businesses to establish an online presence and interact with users.

    A list of difficult or specialized words with their definitions, often placed at the back of a book is a:

    • Bibliography

    • Index

    • Glossary

    Correct Answer
    A. Glossary
    Explanation
    A glossary is a list of difficult or specialized words with their definitions, often placed at the back of a book. It helps readers understand and define unfamiliar terms used in the book. Unlike a bibliography, which is a list of sources cited in the book, or an index, which is an alphabetical list of topics or names mentioned in the book, a glossary specifically focuses on defining words and terms.

    In your geography class, each student has been assigned a foreign country. As part of your project, you are to draw a map of your assigned country and include your country’s geographic features (rivers, mountains, etc.) and its bordering countries. Which resources would be the best ones to use?

    • Dictionary and newspaper

    • Atlas and encyclopedia

    • Thesaurus and atlas

    • Encyclopedia and almanac

    Correct Answer
    A. Atlas and encyclopedia
    Explanation
    An atlas is a collection of maps that provides detailed information about geographic features, including rivers, mountains, and borders. It would be the best resource to use for drawing a map of the assigned country and including its geographic features. An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference source that provides information on various topics, including countries and their characteristics. It would provide additional information about the assigned country, such as its history, culture, and economy, which can be useful for the project. Therefore, using an atlas and encyclopedia would provide the most relevant and accurate information for completing the task.

    • Website

    • Blog

    Correct Answer
    A. Blog
    Explanation
    A website that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer is called a blog. Blogs are commonly used as a platform for individuals to share their thoughts, experiences, and expertise on various topics. Unlike a wiki, which is a collaborative website that allows multiple users to contribute and edit content, a blog is typically managed by a single author or a small group of authors. A blog may also allow readers to leave comments and engage in discussions with the author.

    Explanation
    When evaluating a website, it is important to consider multiple factors. Authority refers to the credibility and expertise of the website or its author. Accuracy relates to the reliability and correctness of the information provided. Currency refers to the timeliness and relevance of the information, ensuring that it is up to date. Considering all of these factors is crucial in determining the trustworthiness and quality of a website.

    A website that allows visitors to make changes, contributions, or corrections is called a:

    • Blog

    • Website

    • Wiki

    Correct Answer
    A. Wiki
    Explanation
    A website that allows visitors to make changes, contributions, or corrections is called a wiki. Unlike a blog or a regular website, a wiki is designed to be collaborative, allowing users to edit and add content. This makes it a valuable tool for creating and sharing knowledge collectively. Wikis are commonly used for projects that require input from multiple individuals or for creating comprehensive and constantly evolving databases of information. Examples of well-known wikis include Wikipedia, which is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and Wikileaks, a platform for anonymous whistleblowers to share classified information.

    Why do we cite our sources in a research paper?

    • To give credit to the creator of the information or idea

    • To let others verify or backtrack the information or idea

    • To protect yourself from a charge of plagiarism

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    We cite our sources in a research paper for multiple reasons. Firstly, it is to give credit to the creator of the information or idea, acknowledging their contribution. Secondly, it allows others to verify or backtrack the information or idea by referring to the original source. Lastly, citing sources helps protect ourselves from being accused of plagiarism, as it shows that we have properly acknowledged and referenced the work of others. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."

    You are looking, online, for information on electric cars. You are not getting many results. What can you do to increase your results?

    • Use a synonym for cars, such at automobile

    • Put quotation marks around the term "electric cars"

    • Both of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Both of the above
    Explanation
    Using a synonym for cars, such as automobile, can help increase the search results by expanding the range of relevant terms. Putting quotation marks around the term "electric cars" can also be effective as it instructs the search engine to look for the exact phrase, which can narrow down the results to more specific and relevant information. By combining both strategies, the chances of finding more results on electric cars can be maximized.

    All search engines look in the same places fon the World Wide Web for information

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. While all search engines aim to provide information from the World Wide Web, they do not all look in the same places. Each search engine has its own algorithms and methods for crawling and indexing web pages, which can result in different search results for the same query. Additionally, search engines may have partnerships or agreements with certain websites or directories, which can influence the sources they prioritize in their search results. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that all search engines look in the same places for information on the World Wide Web.

    • Dewey Decimal System

    Correct Answer
    A. Interlibrary Loan
    Explanation
    Interlibrary Loan is a service that allows you to borrow books from other libraries that your school library does not have. In this case, if your school library does not have the latest book by Sarah Dessen, you can use the Interlibrary Loan service to request the book from another library that does have it. This service enables you to access books from a wider range of libraries, giving you the opportunity to read the book you want even if it is not available at your school library.

    A list of names, places, and subjects included in a book or series of books (such as an encyclopedia), which are listed in alphabetical order and which gives the pages and volumes on which each item is listed is called a(n):

    • Bibliography

    • Index

    • Glossary

    Correct Answer
    A. Index
    Explanation
    An index is a list of names, places, and subjects included in a book or series of books, arranged in alphabetical order. It provides the page numbers and volumes where each item can be found. Unlike a bibliography, which lists the sources used in the book, an index helps readers locate specific information within the book quickly and easily. A glossary, on the other hand, is a list of specialized terms and their definitions.

    • Immediately

    • After you apply for copyright through the U.S. Copyright Office

    Copyright protection is automatically granted to an original creation as soon as it is fixed in a tangible form, such as being written down or recorded. This means that once your poem, video, song, or any other creative work is created and exists in a physical form, it is automatically copyrighted. There is no need to apply for copyright or hire a lawyer to obtain copyright protection. However, registering your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office provides additional benefits and legal advantages.
