Question 2

Mateo has received a Word document from a customer that contains private information and is secured with a password. However, when Mateo tries to open the document in his browser, he gets an error message. How might he fix this problem?
A) Use a secure website that starts with HTTPS

A) Search box

The shopping cart feature is dependent on cookies to keep track of the items a user has added to their cart. Without the ability to store cookies, the shopping cart may not work correctly. The search box, coupon codes, and product pictures do not necessarily rely on cookies to function properly.

Question 13

Kenny is about to sign into his bank's website when he notices the layout looks different from the last time he was on this site.

Knowing that anyone can create a secure website that uses HTTPS, how can Kenny find the digital certificate to check that his bank actually owns this website?
A) Look for the lock icon in the address bar
B) Email the bank for a copy of the digital certificate
C) Sign in with his password and then use the site's search tool
D) Click the name of the organization next to the address bar

Accepted Answer

By clicking the name of the organization next to the address bar, Kenny will be able to view the digital certificate of the website. This will verify that his bank actually owns the website and that it is safe to use. The other options (A, B, and C) do not necessarily provide a way to view the digital certificate.

Question 14

Kelly just received a document from a co-worker that contains sensitive customer data. When she opens the document, the contents look like gibberish. What security technology was used to scramble the information to protect the data?
A) Digital certificate
B) Encryption
C) Password
D) HTTPS

Accepted Answer

Encryption is a security technology used to scramble information to protect data. It makes the sensitive information unreadable to unauthorized parties who may try to intercept the data. Digital certificates are used for authentication and verifying the identity of a website. Passwords are used for access control and authentication. HTTPS provides secure communication between a client and a server but does not necessarily encrypt the data.

Question 15

Roxie is clicking through a website with a confusing structure. She's not sure how she got to the page she's on. Which part of the URL would likely give her an indication of which clicks would bring her back to this page from the website's home page?
A) Pathname
B) Webpage file name
C) Server address
D) Domain name

Accepted Answer

The pathname part of the URL typically identifies the specific location of a webpage within a website's structure. By examining the pathname of the current page, Roxie could potentially backtrack her clicks from the website's home page to get back to this particular page. The other parts of the URL (webpage file name, server address, and domain name) are unlikely to be helpful in this situation.

Question 16

Marina needs some information about how a carburetor works in an aircraft. Her initial results in a search engine didn't turn up the information she's looking for. Which of the following options might provide the results she needs? Choose all that apply.
A) Adjust the keywords used in the search
B) Try a different search engine
C) Refine the web search using search operators
D) Try a different computer

Accepted Answer

Marina should first adjust the keywords she used in the search to make them more specific to the information she is looking for. If this doesn't yield results, she should try a different search engine as different search engines may yield different results. Finally, she should refine her search using search operators such as quotation marks or the minus sign, which can help narrow down the results. Trying a different computer is unlikely to yield different results unless there is an issue with the specific computer she is using.

Question 17

Tammy received an email from her favorite e-commerce store advertising a sale and offering a coupon for a significant discount. To go shopping, why should she enter the store's URL in her browser's address bar rather than clicking the link in the email?
A) The email's link only works for a few minutes after the message is received.
B) The email provider might be able to capture a credit card number if the email link is used.
C) The only way to know a site is legitimate is to enter the URL manually.
D) Using the email link will invite too many advertising

Accepted Answer

Entering the URL manually ensures that the website is legitimate and not a phishing scam. Clicking on links in emails can lead to fake websites that look like the real thing, but are designed to steal personal and financial information.

Question 18

Dmitri is trying to choose a URL for his new website selling custom sports netting products. He wants to use the .net TLD. Why is this a bad idea?

C) The .biz TLD is the only one small businesses are allowed to use.
D) The .mobi TLD would ensure the website is optimized for mobile devices.

Accepted Answer

The .net TLD is typically used for Internet administrative organizations and may confuse potential customers looking for a commercial website. It would be better to choose a TLD that is more commonly associated with commercial activity, such as .com, .biz, or .store.
