CSE 180 COMPREHENSIVE EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔Internet communications are sent strictly through the phone lines - ✔✔False
There are many different methods of transmitting Internet communications. Some are
phone lines, others are dedicated fiber optic lines. Some are wireless.
✔✔In a client/server structure, there: - ✔✔are transmissions to complete a request
There are transmissions from the client and server to the other, but there is no
connection.
✔✔Root name servers - ✔✔maintain the relationship between IP addresses and
symbolic computer names
Root name servers allow surfers to use symbolic computer names instead of arcane IP
addresses.
✔✔DSL stands for: - ✔✔digital subscriber line
DSL is a dedicated connection to an ISP. Usually the connection is very fast and limited
to those within close proximity to ISP.
✔✔When a URL ends in a folder name instead of a file name, the server automatically
looks for a file called: - ✔✔index.html
Without a specific file to look for, most servers go looking for the index.html file.
✔✔HTTP is the protocol of the web, what is the language used to describe how a Web
page should look? - ✔✔HTML
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is the language of describing how a
web page should look
✔✔When a packet is sent from one computer to another, the transmission is called a -
✔✔hop
✔✔A WAN is to TCP/IP as LAN is to - ✔✔Ethernet
TCP/IP is used to communicate over a WAN. Ethernet is used to communicate on a
LAN. These are different "protocols".
✔✔Getting files from a Web server is called: - ✔✔downloading
, ✔✔www.asu.edu is a(n): - ✔✔domain
This is a domain. It could also be the server that hosts that domain or the Web page on
the server at that domain. It depends on how the name is used.
✔✔Which of the following lines is properly nested? - ✔✔B. <p><i><b>Happy New
Year!</b></i></p>
The tags must be nested to work properly. In this case, the bold is inside the italic and
the italic is inside the paragraph.
✔✔When an image is inserted next to text in an HTML document, keep in mind that
generally: - ✔✔images are inserted in the text where specified by the HTML and the text
is aligned with the bottom of the image.
Images are inserted in the text where specified by the HTML and the text is aligned with
the bottom of the image. Generally speaking, text and images don't fit very well together
in HTML. To get them to fit, special formatting often needs to be used.
✔✔The dimensions for an image on a Web page - ✔✔are set using the width and
height attributes
The dimensions of an image on a Web page are set using the width and height
attributes.
✔✔Which of the following tags is not required on a Web page? - ✔✔B. </hr>
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.
✔✔All HTML files must be text format files. - ✔✔True
✔✔If you change the width of a photo image without changing the height of it, you will
end up with a distorted image - ✔✔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.
✔✔All HTML tags come in pairs - ✔✔False
