    While online, you get an e-mail from a person claiming to be an old friend of your parents. They ask for your parents phone number so they can contact them again.  Should you give it to them?  

    Explanation
    No, you should not give your parents' phone number to someone claiming to be an old friend of your parents.

    It is not okay to tell the internet company your password. This is because legitimate companies will never ask for your password through an unsolicited message. Sharing your password with anyone, including the internet company, can lead to unauthorized access to your account and potential misuse of your personal information. It is important to keep your password confidential and only provide it when necessary through secure channels.

Sharing personal pictures can lead to privacy breaches, cyberbullying, or even exploitation. It is always safer to exercise caution and protect your personal information when interacting with strangers online.

    Explanation
    The screen name "Jessigirl14" may not be appropriate because it includes personal information (the name "Jessi") and an indication of age or birth year ("14"), which can potentially compromise privacy and safety online. It is generally recommended to use screen names that do not reveal personal information and are more generic or unrelated to personal details.

    The statement "Things you read on the internet are always true" is false. While the internet is a valuable source of information, it is also filled with misinformation, fake news, and biased opinions. It is crucial to critically evaluate and verify the information found online before accepting it as true. Fact-checking, cross-referencing multiple sources, and considering the credibility of the website or author are essential steps to ensure the accuracy of the information.

    • Symmetrical

    • Asymmetrical

    Correct Answer
    A. Asymmetrical
    Explanation
    The given answer "Asymmetrical" suggests that the type of balance being referred to is asymmetrical. Asymmetrical balance is a design principle where elements on either side of a central axis are not identical, but still create a sense of balance through other means such as color, size, or shape. This type of balance is often used to create visual interest and dynamism in a design.

    Explanation
    It is not necessary to wait for 2 months before revealing information when chatting with someone. The time frame for sharing personal information may vary depending on the level of trust and comfort established in the conversation. It is important to prioritize personal safety and privacy when engaging in online interactions, and revealing information should be done cautiously and at one's own discretion.

    • Asymmetrical

    Correct Answer
    A. Symmetrical
    Explanation
    This question is asking about the type of balance being depicted in the given example. The correct answer is "Symmetrical."

    When browsing the internet, it is okay to enter information the website asks you for.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Entering information that a website asks for is not always okay when browsing the internet. This is because some websites may ask for personal or sensitive information that could be used for malicious purposes, such as identity theft or fraud. It is important to be cautious and only provide information to trusted websites that have secure connections (https) and a legitimate need for the information requested.

    Rate this question:

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Revealing indirect information, such as your school's mascot, can potentially lead to your identification when combined with other pieces of information. This is because even seemingly insignificant details can be used to build a profile and uncover personal information. Therefore, it is true that disclosing indirect information may pose a risk to your privacy and anonymity.

    Sharing a password with others, even if it is not a real word, is not okay. Passwords should be kept confidential and not shared with anyone else to maintain security and prevent unauthorized access to personal accounts or sensitive information. Sharing passwords increases the risk of unauthorized access and compromises the integrity of the account or system. It is important to create strong, unique passwords and keep them private to ensure online safety.

It is important to practice caution and limit the personal information shared online to protect your privacy and ensure online safety.

In this context, it suggests that there is a significant amount of empty or blank space on the page, which could be intentionally used to enhance the overall design or composition.

By strategically using negative space, designers can create a balanced and visually appealing composition. This definition highlights the purpose and significance of negative space in design.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement cannot be considered as a definite proof that Rogelio14kid is a 14-year-old boy. It is possible that Rogelio14kid is using a screen name that includes the number 14, but it does not necessarily mean that he just turned 14. The statement does not provide enough evidence to determine the person's age or gender accurately. Therefore, the answer is false.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    The statement is true because the ultimate goal of an online predator is to establish a physical meeting with their prey. Online predators typically build trust and manipulate their victims through online communication, with the intention of eventually meeting them in person for various harmful purposes, such as exploitation, abuse, or abduction. Meeting in person allows the predator to exert more control and carry out their malicious intentions. It is crucial to be aware of the dangers of online predators and take necessary precautions to ensure personal safety.

    Correct Answer
    A. They are someone to be cautious about.
    Explanation
    If somebody you met online is on your "buddy or contact list," it suggests that you have added them as a connection or friend on a social networking platform or messaging service. This action indicates that you have some level of familiarity or communication with this person. However, it does not necessarily mean that they are trustworthy or who they claim to be. It is important to exercise caution when interacting with individuals online, as their true intentions and identity may not always align with what they present. Therefore, adding someone to your buddy or contact list should be done with caution and awareness of potential risks.

    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that formal balance, also known as symmetrical balance, creates a traditional feeling.
