    • Organization

    • Archeological site

    Correct Answer
    A. Organization
    Explanation
    The suffix ".org" represents organization. This is because ".org" is commonly used for websites of non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, and other similar entities. It distinguishes these websites from commercial or governmental websites that typically use different suffixes such as ".com" or ".gov". The ".org" suffix is widely recognized and associated with organizations that focus on social causes, education, research, and other non-commercial activities.

    Which of the following is NOT an Internet Service Provider?

    • Google

    • Aol

    • MSN

    Correct Answer
    A. Google
    Explanation
    Google is not an Internet Service Provider because it does not provide internet connectivity to users. While Google offers various online services and products, such as search engine, email, and cloud storage, it does not offer internet access directly to individuals or businesses. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are companies that provide internet connectivity to customers, allowing them to access the internet. Examples of ISPs include Aol and MSN, which are both listed as options in the question.

    Three basic boolean search words are

    • If, and, but

    • Or, and, not

    • If, no, yes

    Correct Answer
    A. Or, and, not
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "or, and, not". These are the three basic boolean search words used to combine or exclude keywords in a search query. "Or" is used to broaden the search by including either of the specified keywords, "and" is used to narrow down the search by including both keywords, and "not" is used to exclude a specific keyword from the search results. These operators help in refining search queries and obtaining more accurate and relevant results.

    When doing a  web search, a subtraction (-) sign before a word means

    • Minus the capital letter

    • Minus the plural form of the word

    • The work will not appear in the search results

    Correct Answer
    A. The work will not appear in the search results
    Explanation
    When doing a web search, a subtraction (-) sign before a word means that the word will not appear in the search results. This is because the subtraction sign is used as a Boolean operator to exclude specific words or phrases from the search query. By placing a minus sign before a word, the search engine will filter out any results that include that word, ensuring that it does not appear in the search results.

    Rate this question:

    The suffix ".com" represents a

    Correct Answer
    company
    business
    commercial business
    Explanation
    The suffix ".com" represents a company, business, or commercial business. This is because ".com" is the most common and widely recognized top-level domain (TLD) used for commercial purposes on the internet. It is typically associated with businesses and organizations that operate for-profit and engage in commercial activities. Therefore, when a website has a domain name ending in ".com", it indicates that it is affiliated with a company or business entity.
