Accepted Answer

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is the organization responsible for coordinating and managing the introduction of new TLDs to the Domain Name System (DNS).

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a set of rules for exchanging files such as text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files on the Web. It is the primary protocol used for communication between web servers and web clients (browsers). IP (Internet Protocol) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) are protocols used for routing and transmitting data over the internet. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for transferring files between computers on a network.

A ____ is a type of _____.
A) URI, URL
B) URL, URI
C) HTML, web page
D) URL, HTML

Accepted Answer

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a specific type of URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). A URI is a generic term for all types of names and addresses that refer to objects on the World Wide Web, whereas a URL is a specific type of URI that not only tells you the address of a resource (like a web page) but also how to retrieve it (e.g., http, https).

A) HTTP
B) IP
C) TCP
D) FTP

Accepted Answer

IP is the Internet Protocol, which is a set of rules that controls how data is sent between computers on the Internet.

Question 7

The purpose of the ___________ protocol is to ensure the integrity of the communication.
A) HTTP
B) IP
C) TCP
D) FTP

Accepted Answer

The TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) ensures the integrity of the communication by providing a reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications running on hosts communicating over an IP network.

Question 8

A domain name is a unique text-based Internet address corresponding to a unique ____________.
A) IP address
B) domain name
C) URL
D) user name

Accepted Answer

A domain name corresponds to a unique IP address, which is a numerical address used to identify devices on a network. A domain name serves as a more human-readable and memorable version of the IP address.

Question 9

Select the main reason for the initial development of the World Wide Web from the list below:
A) To allow companies to advertise over the Internet.
B) To allow companies to conduct commerce over the Internet
C) To allow communication between researchers and links between research papers
D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

The initial development of the World Wide Web was intended to allow communication between researchers and the linking of research papers, making it easier to access and share information. It was not primarily developed for advertising or commerce purposes.

Question 10

A _________ can be configured to house a separate website located at the same domain.
A) TLD
B) subdomain
C) minidomain
D) TCP

Accepted Answer

A subdomain can be configured to house a separate website located at the same domain. For example, blog.example.com would be a subdomain of example.com and could host a separate website or blog. TLD (Top Level Domain) is the part of the domain name that appears after the last dot, such as .com, .org, .net, etc. Minidomain is not a commonly used term in web development. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a communication protocol used on the internet but not directly related to configuring domains or websites.

Question 11

Select protocols that are used for e-mail processing.
A) ETP, FTP
B) SMTP, POP3
C) SMTP, POP3, IMAP
D) ETP, FTP, SMTP

Accepted Answer

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending e-mails, while both POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) are used for receiving e-mails. Therefore, the best choice is C, which includes all three protocols that are commonly used for e-mail processing. ETP (Electronic Transfer Protocol) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) are not used for e-mail processing.

Question 12

The on-demand use of software and other computing resources hosted at a remote data center (including servers, storage, services, and applications) over the Internet.
A) RSS
B) Cloud Computing
C) TCP
D) TLD

Accepted Answer

Cloud computing refers to the use of remote data centers for on-demand access to computing resources such as servers, storage, and applications over the internet.

Question 13

_________ combines the formatting strengths of HTML 4.0 and the data structure and extensibility strengths of XML.
A) HML
B) SGML
C) HTML5
D) XHTML

Accepted Answer

XHTML (Extensible HyperText Markup Language) combines the formatting strengths of HTML 4.0 and the data structure and extensibility strengths of XML. XHTML is stricter than HTML, requiring all tags to be closed and all elements to be properly nested, making it more compatible with XML.

Question 14

Choose the organization listed below that takes a proactive role in developing recommendations and prototype technologies related to the Web.
A) Web Professional Standards Organization (WPO)
B) Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
C) Internet Corporation for Assigned Numbers and Names (ICANN)
D) World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

Accepted Answer

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community that creates web standards and guidelines to improve the functionality, interoperability, and accessibility of the web. They develop prototype technologies, provide education and outreach to the public, and collaborate with various industries to ensure that the web remains open and accessible to all.

Question 15

A network that is geographically dispersed and may use some form of public or commercial communications network is called a(n):
A) LAN
B) WAN
C) Internet
D) WWW

Accepted Answer

A LAN is a Local Area Network and is limited to a small geographic area such as a building or campus. The Internet and WWW are both global networks accessible by anyone with an internet connection. Therefore, the best choice is B, a WAN (Wide Area Network), which spans a larger geographic area and may use public or commercial communication networks to connect devices and locations.

A) CERN
B) NCSA
C) NSF
D) ARPA

A language using a text-based syntax intended to extend the power of HTML by separating data from presentation is called _______.
A) HML
B) XML
C) XHTML
D) SGML

Accepted Answer

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is designed to store and transport data, with a focus on separating the data from the presentation, making it ideal for sharing structured data across different information systems, particularly via the internet.
