Answer Key

URL part: the web page or file name

Section A: Quick Questions

B — /products/shoes.html

A — A folder in the path

A — shoes.html

B — The file is a web page written in HTML

A — The server sends a default page, such as the home page

Section B: Match the Pairs

/products/shoes.html → The path and file name at the end of a URL: the products folder, then the web page shoes.html

https://www.shop.com/ → A URL with no file name, so the server sends the site's default page, such as index.html

The file extension .html shows the file is a web page → about.html

Folders in the path are separated by / and come before the file name → /images/logos/school.png

https://www.shop.com/products\shoes.html → A backslash was used in the path. Folders in a URL are separated by forward slashes, so it should be /products/shoes.html.

https://www.shop.com/shoes html → The file name has a space and no dot, so the extension is missing. It should be shoes.html with a dot before html.

Section C: Definitions

/products/shoes.html — The last part of a URL. It names the web page or file wanted: folders (the path) then the file name, like shoes.html. With no file name, the server sends a default page.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

https://www.shop.com/products/shoes.html

Path: /images/ File: logo.png
https://www.school.com/images/logo.png

https://www.shop.com/
Default page sent: index.html

URL: https://www.shop.com/sale/boots.html
Folder: /sale/
File name: boots.html

Section E: Spot the Error

A — URLs separate folders and the file name with forward slashes (/), not backslashes. It should be https://a.com/men/hat.html.

D — The file name includes its extension. The file name is toys.html, not just toys.

D — A default page is a web page file such as index.html. .com is a domain ending, not a file extension for a web page.

C — shop is the folder (part of the path). The file name is the last part, so it should be file = cart.html.

B — The path is the folder, which is /music/. rock.html is the file name, not part of the path.
