2. What is the Internet?

Explanation

The Internet is a global network of millions of interconnected computers that communicate with each other through various protocols. It allows for the exchange of information, communication, and access to a wide range of resources and services. This vast network is not limited to a specific location or owned by any single entity, making it a public network accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

3. Another name for a web page's address is its:

Explanation

A web page's address is commonly referred to as its URL, which stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is the unique address that identifies the location of a specific web page on the internet. DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that translates domain names into IP addresses, while ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that provides internet access to users. However, neither DNS nor ISP specifically refers to a web page's address like URL does.

4. Which of the following is NOT the name of a Web search engine?

5. For sites about the U.S. capital, why is it better to search Washington, D.C. than just Washington?

Explanation

Searching Washington will return many sites that aren't about Washington, D.C. This is because there are other places and entities named Washington, such as Washington state or Washington University. Including "D.C." in the search helps to specify that the search is specifically for information related to the U.S. capital, avoiding irrelevant results.

Submit
6. Why is it a good idea to try more than one search engine when you're researching?

Explanation

It is a good idea to try more than one search engine when researching because different search engines may collect and rank their sites differently. Each search engine has its own algorithms and criteria for determining the relevance and ranking of websites. By using multiple search engines, you can get a broader range of results and potentially find information that may not be easily accessible through a single search engine. Additionally, different search engines may have different databases and indexes, so trying multiple engines increases the chances of finding comprehensive and diverse information.

Submit
7. What is a search engine?

Explanation

A search engine is a program that searches for specific words and phrases entered by a user and then displays a list of relevant web pages that contain those words or phrases. It uses algorithms to crawl and index web pages, allowing users to find information on the internet efficiently. Unlike the other options, a search engine is not a computer motor or a thing in a car.

Submit
8. What search term would be the most specific as far as finding information on George Washington?

Explanation

The search term "George Washington" would be the most specific as it includes the exact name of the person being searched for. The other options either separate the first and last name or only include one of the names, which could potentially yield less accurate or relevant results.

Submit
9. What should you do if you want to be really specific with your search?

Explanation

To be more specific with your search, you should add more relevant words to your search. This helps narrow down the search results and retrieve more accurate and specific information related to your query. By including additional keywords that are directly related to your topic, you can filter out irrelevant results and find the information you are looking for more efficiently.

Submit
10. What results will searching for George Washington (no quotes) return?

Explanation

Searching for "George Washington" (no quotes) will return websites that contain both the words "George" and "Washington" somewhere on the page. This means that the search results will include websites that mention both the words individually, but not necessarily together as the phrase "George Washington".
