2. Every computer (or server) on the internet has its own IP address number. 

Explanation

Every computer or server on the internet is assigned a unique IP address, which acts as its identifier. This IP address allows the computer or server to send and receive data over the internet. Without an IP address, it would be impossible for computers to communicate with each other on the internet. Therefore, it is true that every computer or server on the internet has its own IP address number.

Submit
3. A URL is an address you type in your web browser to find a particular page on the web.

Explanation

This statement is true because a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is indeed an address that you enter into a web browser to locate a specific webpage on the internet. URLs consist of various components, including the protocol (such as HTTP or HTTPS), the domain name, and the path to the specific page or resource. By typing a URL into a web browser, users can access and navigate to the desired webpage.

Submit
4. The job of a graphic designer deals with presentation and the "front-end" side of web design. 

Explanation

The given correct answer states that graphic design is front-end design. This means that the job of a graphic designer involves working on the visual elements and presentation of a website or other design projects. They focus on creating visually appealing and user-friendly designs that are visible to the end-users. This aligns with the understanding that front-end design deals with the user interface and the visual aspects of a website or application.

Submit
5. What does CSS stand for? Write it out below in three words and be sure to spell correctly. (see page 10)

Explanation

The correct answer is "cascading style sheets" or "cascading style sheet". CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, which is a style sheet language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in HTML or XML. It is used to control the layout, colors, fonts, and other visual aspects of a web page.

Submit
6. Fill in the blank:  The acronym HTML stands for __________ markup language. (see page 9)

Explanation

The correct answer for this question is "hypertext." HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, which is used for creating web pages and displaying content on the internet. The term "hypertext" refers to text that contains links to other documents or resources, allowing users to navigate and access information in a non-linear way.

Submit
7. When you type www.facebook.com into your web browser, the browser must search for a "default" file before it can display anything to you.

Explanation

When you type www.facebook.com into your web browser, the browser needs to search for a "default" file before it can display anything to you. This suggests that the browser is looking for a specific file to load as the default page for the website, which is usually the homepage. This is true because browsers typically require a default file to be present in order to render the initial content of a website.

Submit
8. What does a cascading style sheet do? (see page 10)

Explanation

A cascading style sheet (CSS) is a coding language that controls the visual appearance of a web page. It is used to define the layout, colors, fonts, and other design elements of a website. By applying CSS rules to HTML elements, it determines how the content is displayed and presented to the user.

Submit
9. What does the domain name system (DNS) do on the web?

Explanation

The domain name system (DNS) is responsible for matching and connecting domain names to IP addresses. When a user types in a domain name (e.g., www.example.com) in their web browser, the DNS translates that domain name into the corresponding IP address (e.g., 192.0.2.1) that the web server is located at. This allows the user's computer to establish a connection with the correct server and retrieve the requested web page. The DNS acts as a directory service for the internet, facilitating the communication between domain names and IP addresses.

Submit
10. URL stands for Uniform Record Locator. 

Explanation

The statement is incorrect. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, not Uniform Record Locator. A URL is a specific type of identifier that defines the location of a resource on the internet. It is commonly used to access web pages, files, and other resources on the World Wide Web.

Submit
11. If you write the following line of code in HTML, what would you see on your final page?
HTML script

Explanation

By writing the given line of code in HTML, the final page would display the words "Tiger Media Online" and "Thanks for visiting Tiger Media".

Submit
12. What would be an example of a default file (or index file) for https://www.facebook.com? 

Explanation

The correct answer is index.html, /index.html, index.php, index.asp, index.htm. These are examples of default files or index files that could be used for the website http://www.facebook.com. When a user visits a website without specifying a specific file or page, the server will look for one of these default files to display as the homepage. The server will try to find these files in the root directory of the website or in any specified subdirectories.

Submit
13. What is an HTML tag?

Explanation

HTML tags are labels surrounded by angle brackets that are used to describe how each text element should function. They do not affect how the page looks and do not show up on the final page. Therefore, both answers B and D are correct as they correctly describe the nature of HTML tags.

Submit
14. What do you think the tag "em" does to whatever is contained within it? Remember anything between the opening tag and the closing tag is affected.

Explanation

The "em" tag is used to emphasize or highlight text. It does not make the text disappear, separate it into a paragraph, or change its color. Instead, it makes the text bold, drawing attention to it on the final page.

Submit
15. Which of the following tasks or elements would be considered back-end?

Explanation

The tasks or elements that would be considered back-end are those that involve the server-side of a website or application. This includes database programming and PHP scripts, as they deal with the logic and functionality of the website/application. On the other hand, the graphic interface, HTML programming, and interface design are related to the front-end, as they focus on the visual and user-facing aspects of the website/application.

Submit
16. FTP

Explanation

The correct answer is "Allows you to transfer files.", "Stands for File Transfer Protocol (or program)", and "Helps with uploads and downloads." This is because FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is a network protocol that enables the transfer of files between a client and a server on a computer network. It is commonly used for uploading and downloading files, making it a useful tool for file transfers.
