Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Uniform resource locator is the term for an internet address and is shown on your browser in the locator bar. The URL provides clues about the origin of the website, whether it is a commercial (.com) or an educational (.edu) site. A web browser is a specific program that allows you to view websites on the internet. A search engine is a tool that uses computer programs to search the internet for websites and indexes those sites by keywords. The menu bar is located at the top of your computer screen when you access your browser; the menu bar has a series of pull-down menus with commands to allow you to navigate your computer, the internet, or a website.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The Boolean word AND instructs the search engine to return only resources that have both terms in the documents, resulting in more effective searching. The OR word enlarges the search yield by identifying all information focused on both terms searched. The NOT word can be used to limit yields when searching by identifying what you do not want. Limit setting is a tool to increase the precision of searches.
