Which of the following is NOT an example of a domain name?
- A.
Nyu.edu
- B.
Cnn.ext
- C.
Novemberlearning.com
- D.
Whitehouse.gov
Correct Answer
B. Cnn.extExplanation
The domain name "cnn.ext" is not a valid example because it does not follow the typical format of a domain name. Domain names usually consist of two or more parts separated by dots, with the last part representing the top-level domain (TLD). In this case, "ext" does not represent a recognized TLD, making it an invalid domain name.Rate this question:

Correct Answer

A domain name may be designed to fool you about the actual content of the site. This means that the domain name itself may be misleading or deceptive, giving the impression that the website offers certain content or services when it actually does not. This can be done intentionally to trick users into visiting the site or to gain their trust for malicious purposes. It is important for users to be cautious and verify the credibility of a website before providing any personal information or engaging with its content.Rate this question:

- C.
Remove levels from the URLs right to the left until you are left with the domain name
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Remove levels from the URLs right to the left until you are left with the domain nameExplanation

This means removing any subdomains or directories in the URL, and keeping only the main domain name. Removing the domain name or the http:// or www. from the URL would not be considered truncating the web address. Therefore, the correct answer is to remove levels from the URLs right to the left until you are left with the domain name.Rate this question:
