ANS-consistent interface
What is a GUI? - ANS-Graphical User Interface
To indicate that the computer is continuing to perform a time-consuming operation, the cursor is
replaced by an icon such as a(n): - ANS-all of the above: hourglass, rainbow spinner and little

Placeholders can be inserted throughout your work for all long, commonly occurring phrases,
and the placeholders can later be changed easily using: - ANS-find/replace all (F/RA)
, Which of the following is an example of the computer providing feedback to the user? - ANS-all
of the above: editing changes become visible on the screen, the cursor changes to indicate an
operation is in progress and a progress bar shows how much of the work is done
The primary reason for consistency across computer applications is that certain operations are
fundamental to processing information no matter what the application is. - ANS-true
Which metaphor features file cabinets and wastebaskets as typical components? - ANS-desktop
metaphor
A good wat to learn how to use a new application or piece of software is to... - ANS-click around
The mouse was invented by: - ANS-Douglas Engelbart and others at Stanford Research
Institute
Perfect reproduction is a property of... - ANS-digital information
All HTML tags come in pairs. - ANS-false-most tags do, but some do not
All HML files must be text format files. - ANS-true-they cannot be any other file format
Image files must be stored in their own folder. - ANS-false-they don't have to but it's good for
organizational purposes

If you change the width of a photo image without changing the height of it, you will end up with a
distorted image. - ANS-false-When shrinking a photo, it is best to specify only the width or the
height, whichever is more constrained. This is because to meet your specification the browser
will shrink that dimension of the image by some factor f from its natural size. For example, if you
shrink the width of the photo from 2000 down to 200, f = 10. The web browser will reduce the
height of the photo by the same factor f, producing the same picture, just smaller, without any
distortion.
Which of the following lines is properly nested? - ANS-the happy new year that the bolded and
in italics
Which of the following tags is not required on a Web page? - ANS-(prof did not give an
answer)-there's no need for a closing tag for a horizontal rule. The other tags are required. You
will not get a visible page without them
Which of the following will display the rocket.jpg file on the page? - ANS-<img
alt=""src="rocket.jpg"/>
