  • 2. 

    A website that's a bit like a diary.

    • Newspaper online

    • Blog

    • Group discussion

    • Magazine online

    Correct Answer
    A. Blog
    Explanation
    A blog is a website that functions as a personal diary, allowing individuals to share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences with an online audience. It is similar to a diary in the sense that it provides a platform for individuals to express themselves and document their daily lives or specific interests. Unlike a newspaper online, group discussion, or magazine online, a blog is typically authored by one person and focuses on their perspective rather than providing objective news or a collaborative discussion.

    • Transfer

    • Fly

    • Surf

    • Move

    Correct Answer
    A. Surf
    Explanation
    The word "surf" is the correct answer because it is commonly used to describe the action of navigating or exploring the internet. When someone "surfs" the internet, they are moving around and exploring different websites and webpages. The other options - transfer, fly, and move - do not specifically convey the idea of moving around the internet in the same way that "surf" does.
