Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Databases offer vast collections of computer-searchable information, often in specific areas such as business, law, science, technology, and education. Some of these are available only by institutional subscription, so the library may be your only way to gain access to them.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) The most familiar search tools are general-purpose search engines, such as Google and Bing, which scan millions of websites to identify individual webpages that contain a specific word or phrase and then attempt to rank the results from most useful to least useful. Website owners use search engine optimization techniques to help boost their rankings in the results, but the ranking algorithms are kept secret to prevent unfair manipulation of the results.
