Answer 1

1. Modem
   Explanation:
   A modem (modulator-demodulator) converts digital signals produced by a computer into analogue signals capable of travelling across telephone lines and reverses the process for incoming traffic. This conversion makes dial-up and DSL connectivity possible over existing telephone cabling.
2. The manager wants to have an address on the Internet for the company's website. Such an address on the Internet is known as URL.
   Explanation:
   A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) specifies the standard global address format used by web browsers to locate and retrieve a website or specific online resource. While an IP address identifies the underlying host computer on the network, the public-facing web address of a site is its URL.
3. The full form of URL is Uniform Resource Locator.
   Explanation:
   URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, serving as a standardised addressing system on the World Wide Web. It specifies both the transfer protocol (such as HTTP or HTTPS) and the exact location path of a given file or web page on a remote server.
4. The Internet consists of FTP, WWW and Telnet.
   Explanation:
   The Internet is a vast, global network architecture that accommodates a wide variety of information services and protocols. It provides access to hypermedia documents via the World Wide Web (WWW), allows file transfers through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and enables remote command execution through Telnet.
5. A website is a collection of webpages.
   Explanation:
   A website comprises a collection of related web pages, multimedia assets, and electronic documents organized under a common domain name. Users navigate seamlessly across these interconnected web pages using embedded hyperlinks.
