Then, when a user performs a search query, the search engine retrieves the relevant information from its database and presents it to the user. This process allows search engines to efficiently organize and provide access to a vast amount of web page data.

    Explanation
    A web crawler retrieves information by systematically browsing and indexing web pages. It is a program that automatically navigates through the internet, following links and collecting data from websites. Unlike a website or the internet itself, a web crawler specifically focuses on the task of gathering information from various sources on the web.

    A web crawler is often referred to as a spider because it navigates through the internet by systematically crawling and indexing web pages, much like a spider moves through its web. This term is commonly used in the field of web development and search engine optimization to describe the automated software programs that browse the internet to gather information.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    Search engines index 100% of the web.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Search engines do not index 100% of the web. While search engines like Google and Bing strive to index as much of the web as possible, they are not able to index every single webpage due to various reasons such as technical limitations, robots.txt files, and the dynamic nature of the web. Therefore, the statement that search engines index 100% of the web is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    Humans are faster at searching than spiders.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. Spiders are actually faster at searching than humans. Spiders have a highly developed sense of touch and can quickly detect vibrations in their surroundings, allowing them to locate prey or navigate their environment efficiently. Additionally, spiders have multiple pairs of eyes that provide a wide field of vision, enabling them to detect movement and potential threats more easily. In contrast, humans rely more on their visual sense and tend to search for things using their eyes, which is generally slower compared to spiders' sensory abilities.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    Spiders are more accurate than humans sorting through the cataloged content.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. While spiders, or web crawlers, are efficient at scanning and indexing large amounts of content on the internet, they are not capable of accurately sorting through the cataloged content. Humans possess the ability to understand context, interpret information, and make subjective judgments, which spiders cannot do. Therefore, humans are generally more accurate than spiders when it comes to sorting through cataloged content.

    Rate this question:

  • 41. 

    With some search engines, you can pay money to come up first in the list of hits. This is rare though because most base this on popularity.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Some search engines do offer paid advertising options where businesses can pay to have their website appear at the top of the search results. However, this practice is not very common as most search engines prioritize the relevance and popularity of websites in their rankings. Therefore, it is true that with some search engines, you can pay money to come up first in the list of hits, but this is not the primary factor in determining search rankings.

The maximum speed of dial-up connections is limited to 56 kilobits per second (Kbps), which is significantly slower compared to other methods like 4G, WiFi, ADSL, and Fiber. Dial-up connections are outdated and have largely been replaced by faster and more reliable internet options.

    Correct Answer
    B. The DNS is an non-essential component of the functionality of the Internet
    Explanation
    The DNS is an essential component of the functionality of the Internet because it translates domain names into IP addresses, allowing users to access websites and other resources on the Internet. Without DNS, users would have to remember and enter IP addresses directly, which is not user-friendly. DNS acts as a "phone book" for the Internet, providing a way for users to easily navigate and access resources using domain names.
