B Correct answer
Explanation

HTML hyperlinks use the tag with the href attribute specifying the destination URL. Option B shows the correct syntax: Google. Option A incorrectly uses 'url' instead of 'href', Option C is missing the href attribute entirely, and Option D uses 'name' which is for anchor points, not links.

  2. <mail>xxx@yyy</mail>

  3. <a href="xxx@yyy">

  4. <a href="mailto:xxx@yyy">
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Email links use the mailto: protocol within the href attribute of an anchor tag. The correct syntax is where xxx@yyy is the email address. Options A, B, and C are incorrect - there is no tag in HTML, and email links must use the mailto: protocol prefix within the href attribute.

How can you open a link in a new browser window?

  2. <a href="url" new>

The target attribute in an anchor tag specifies where to open the linked document. Using target="_blank" opens the URL in a new tab or window, which is the standard HTML approach. Option A uses 'new' which is not a valid value, option B is missing the target attribute entirely, and option D uses '_newB' which is also invalid.

Activities are basic objects, describing things a user can see or do and they can subscribe for intents.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Activities represent individual screens or UI interactions in Android apps. They are one of the four fundamental app components. However, Activities themselves do NOT 'subscribe for intents' - that's the role of Broadcast Receivers. Activities can be started by intents (via startActivity()) but they don't actively subscribe to or listen for intent broadcasts.

How can we get Current Page URL in ASP.NET?

  1. Request.Url.FullURL;

  2. Request.PageUrl;

  3. Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;

  4. Request.Page.URL;
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Request.Url.AbsoluteUri returns the complete URL including protocol, domain, path, and query string. Request.Url alone gives a Uri object - you must access a property like AbsoluteUri, AbsolutePath, or Host to get the actual string value.

________ can convert your applications into Web-applications.

  1. Web

  2. Web Services

  3. Web programs

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Web Services provide a standardized way to convert applications into web-applications by exposing functionality over the web using protocols like SOAP/REST. They allow applications to communicate across platforms and networks. 'Web' and 'Web programs' are not specific technologies or conversion methods.

HTTP is the ubiquitous protocol, which is running practically everywhere on:

  1. Internet

  2. systems

  3. networks

  4. pages
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

To solve this question, the user needs to know what HTTP is and where it is used.

HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which is an application protocol that is commonly used for transmitting data over the internet. It is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web.

Now, let's go through each option and explain whether it is right or wrong:

A. Internet: This option is correct. HTTP is used extensively on the internet for transferring data between servers and clients. It is the primary protocol used for communication between web browsers and web servers.

B. Systems: This option is incorrect. While HTTP can be used for communication between systems, it is primarily used for communication between web browsers and web servers.

C. Networks: This option is partially correct. HTTP is used on networks, but it is not specific to any particular network. It can be used on any network that supports TCP/IP.

D. Pages: This option is incorrect. HTTP is not used on individual web pages, but rather for communication between web browsers and web servers.

The Answer is: A

Multiple choice technology web technology

A Web Services can be created regardless of the

  1. systems

  2. programming language

  3. services

  4. internet
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Web services are designed to be language-independent, allowing different applications to communicate regardless of the programming languages used to build them. This interoperability is a key advantage of service-oriented architecture. Options like systems or services are too vague, and internet is the medium, not a constraint.
