    Which of the following Internet search terms would likely return the MOST USEFUL search results if you wanted to find an example of a current human rights violation in Africa?

    • Africa

    • Africa + 21st Century

    • Africa + 21st Century + Human Rights Violations

    Correct Answer
    A. Africa + 21st Century + Human Rights Violations
    Explanation
    The search term "Africa + 21st Century + Human Rights Violations" would likely return the most useful search results because it combines specific keywords related to the topic. Including "Africa" ensures that the search results are focused on the continent, while adding "21st Century" narrows down the results to current examples. Finally, including "Human Rights Violations" further specifies the type of information being sought, resulting in more relevant and targeted search results.

    Which of the following Internet search terms would likely return the LEAST results?

    • Africa

    • Africa + 21st Century

    • Africa + 21st Century + Human Rights Violations

    Correct Answer
    A. Africa + 21st Century + Human Rights Violations
    Explanation
    The search term "Africa + 21st Century + Human Rights Violations" would likely return the least results because it is the most specific and narrow search term among the options given. By adding additional keywords such as "21st Century" and "Human Rights Violations," the search is limited to a more specific topic within the broader term "Africa." This would likely narrow down the search results and return fewer relevant pages compared to the other options.

    Which of the following Internet search terms would likely return the MOST results?

    • Africa

    • Africa + 21st century

    • Africa + 21st Century + Human Rights Violations

    Correct Answer
    A. Africa
    Explanation
    The search term "Africa" would likely return the most results because it is the broadest term among the options given. Searching for just "Africa" would encompass a wide range of topics related to the continent, including its geography, history, culture, wildlife, and more. On the other hand, the other search terms include more specific criteria such as "21st century" and "human rights violations," which would narrow down the results and potentially yield fewer matches.

    PARApHRASE this paragraph in two sentences.  Remember when paraphrasing, you must use your own words unless you use a direct quote. You may not copy the phrases of others without giving them credit. Nairobi — Some 12.5 million Kenyans are going to the polls on Wednesday to decide whether or not to adopt a new constitution.  If more than 50 per cent of the voters endorse the draft, then it will mean radical changes to the way the country is governed. A new chamber of Parliament will be created, for example, and government devolved to counties.President Kibaki led calls for peace during the vote and after the referendum.
