  • 3. 

    An IP address is the same as a URL.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    An IP address and a URL are not the same. An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It is used to identify and locate devices on a network. On the other hand, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a specific web address that is used to locate and access a particular webpage or resource on the internet. While both are used in network communication, they serve different purposes and have different formats. Therefore, the statement that an IP address is the same as a URL is false.

    Explanation
    Shockwave, RealOne, and Winamp are all examples of plug-ins. A plug-in is a software component that adds specific features or functionality to a larger software application. In this case, Shockwave, RealOne, and Winamp are all plug-ins that can be added to web browsers or media players to enhance their capabilities. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Internet2 will replace the Internet.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Internet2 will replace the Internet" is false. Internet2 is a separate network that was developed to provide high-speed connectivity and advanced services for research and education institutions. It was not designed to replace the existing Internet infrastructure that is used by the general public. The Internet and Internet2 are two distinct networks that serve different purposes. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    What kind of server converts IP addresses to domain names?

    • P2P

    • File

    • DNS

    • Email

    Correct Answer
    A. DNS
    Explanation
    DNS (Domain Name System) servers are responsible for converting IP addresses to domain names. When a user enters a domain name in their web browser, the DNS server translates that domain name into the corresponding IP address, allowing the user to access the desired website. DNS servers play a crucial role in internet communication by providing a way to easily identify and access websites using domain names instead of complex IP addresses.

    What are the separate, definable parts that are sent when a message is sent through the Internet?

    • Parcels

    • Plug-ins

    • Switches

    • Packets

    Correct Answer
    A. Packets
    Explanation
    When a message is sent through the Internet, it is divided into separate, definable parts called packets. These packets contain the data of the message along with the necessary information for routing and reassembling at the destination. Each packet is sent individually and can take different paths to reach its destination. This division into packets allows for efficient and reliable transmission of data over the network.

    • Top level domain

    • Protocol

    • Document extension

    • Domain

    • URL

    Correct Answer
    A. Document extension
    Explanation
    The term ".html" refers to a document extension. In computer terminology, a document extension is a suffix added to the end of a file name to indicate the type of file it is. In this case, ".html" is commonly used to denote a Hypertext Markup Language file, which is used to create web pages. Therefore, ".html" is the correct match for the given definition.

    Which protocol is used to upload and download files from web servers?

    • Telnet

    • HTTP

    • FTP

    • HTTPS

    Correct Answer
    A. FTP
    Explanation
    FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the correct answer because it is specifically designed for uploading and downloading files from web servers. Telnet is a protocol used for remote login and control of devices, not for file transfer. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring web pages and data, but not specifically for file transfer. HTTPS (HTTP Secure) is a secure version of HTTP, but it does not focus on file transfer. Therefore, FTP is the most appropriate protocol for uploading and downloading files from web servers.

    Which of the following is not an Internet language?

    • FTP

    • ActiveX

    Correct Answer
    A. FTP
    Explanation
    FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, which is a standard network protocol used for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network. It is not considered an Internet language because it is primarily used for file transfer rather than for programming or scripting purposes. On the other hand, ActiveX, XML, and Java are all programming languages or technologies commonly used in Internet development and communication.

    • Cable modems

    • Modem

    • DSL

    • T1

    Correct Answer
    A. Modem
    Explanation
    A modem is a narrowband connection because it is designed to transmit data over a limited frequency range, typically using a telephone line. Unlike broadband connections such as cable modems, DSL, and T1 lines, which can transmit data at high speeds over a wide frequency range, a modem has a lower data transmission rate and is limited to a narrowbandwidth.

    Explanation
    An email address consists of a username and a host. The username is the unique identifier for the individual or organization, while the host refers to the server that handles the email communication. The username is typically followed by the "@" symbol, which separates it from the host. The host can be a domain name or an IP address. Together, the username and host form a complete email address, allowing messages to be sent and received.

    Which of the following is NOT a top-level domain?

    • .com

    • .us

    • .name

    • .comp

    Correct Answer
    A. .comp
    Explanation
    The given answer ".comp" is not a valid top-level domain. Top-level domains are the last part of a domain name, such as .com, .org, or .net. These domains are used to categorize websites based on their purpose or geographical location. While .com, .us, and .name are all valid top-level domains, .comp does not exist as a recognized domain extension.

    An online shopping catalog for a large outdoor outfitter is almost certainly

    • A data-driven Web site that separates site content from design

    • Carefully hand-coded in pure HTML to minimize errors

    • Designed to work without cookies

    • Limited to work with a single type of Web browser for consistency

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A data-driven Web site that separates site content from design
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A data-driven Web site that separates site content from design". This means that the online shopping catalog is likely built using a database to store and retrieve product information, and the design of the website is separate from the content. This allows for easier updates and maintenance of the site, as changes to the design can be made without affecting the underlying content. It also suggests that the website is dynamic and can display different content based on user input or preferences.

    • Myanmar

    Correct Answer
    A. Saudi Arabia
    Explanation
    Saudi Arabia attempts to limit its resident's access to controversial Web content by routing all incoming Internet traffic through a single control center. This is done through a system known as the "Great Firewall of Saudi Arabia," which allows the government to monitor and filter internet traffic, blocking access to certain websites and online content that it deems inappropriate or against its strict social and religious norms. This control over internet access is part of Saudi Arabia's broader efforts to maintain strict control over information and maintain social and political stability within the country.
