    Explanation

    To ensure that your list is in a particular order, you should use the "ol" tag. The "ol" tag stands for "ordered list" and is used to create numbered lists.

The start tag marks the beginning of the element, the content is the information or data within the element, and the end tag marks the end of the element. This structure is used to define and organize the different elements on a webpage. The other options, a domain name and a URL, are not accurate descriptions of an element in HTML.

    A. <hr>
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "". This is because the "" tag is used in HTML to create a horizontal line on a webpage. It is a self-closing tag, meaning it does not require a closing tag. The other options, "", "", and "", are not valid HTML tags and do not create horizontal lines.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    An absolute path is what a server needs to locate the file being requested.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An absolute path is a complete and specific file path that includes the full directory structure, starting from the root directory. When a server receives a request for a file, it needs the absolute path to accurately locate and retrieve the file. This is because the absolute path provides the exact location of the file within the directory structure, ensuring that the server can find and deliver the requested file correctly. Therefore, the statement that an absolute path is what a server needs to locate the file being requested is true.

    • Hyperlinks contribute to a website's overall accessibility.

    Correct Answer
    A. Hyperlinks can only link to entire web pages, not specific sections within a page. 
    Explanation
    Hyperlinks can indeed link to specific sections within a web page using anchor tags (<a>) and ID attributes. This allows for precise navigation within a document. The other options are true: the target attribute controls how the link opens, search engines use links for indexing, and well-structured hyperlinks improve website accessibility.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a lossless image format, meaning it does not lose any image quality when compressed. However, it is still a compressed format, which means it reduces file size by eliminating unnecessary data. This compression allows GIFs to be easily shared and viewed on the internet without using excessive memory. Therefore, the statement that "Even though a GIF is lossless, it is a compressed format" is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The head section of a web page contains meta information and links to external resources, such as CSS files and JavaScript files. This section is not visible to the person viewing the page because it is not rendered in the browser window. It is responsible for providing instructions and defining the structure of the page, but its contents are not directly displayed to the user. Therefore, the statement "The head section of a Web page goes to the Internet and is not visible to the person viewing the page" is true.

  • 30. 

    Which format is best for high quality Web photos?

    • TIF

    • GIF

    • JPEG

    • QRL

    Correct Answer
    A. JPEG
    Explanation
    JPEG is the best format for high-quality web photos because it offers a good balance between file size and image quality. It uses lossy compression, which means that some image data is discarded to reduce file size, but the compression is optimized in a way that minimizes noticeable loss of quality. This makes JPEG ideal for web photos where smaller file sizes are important for faster loading times, while still maintaining a high level of image detail and color accuracy. TIF is a large file format primarily used for print and professional applications, GIF is more suitable for simple graphics and animations, and QRL is not a recognized image format.
