Grade 10 Internet Technologies

Computer Applications Technology practice questions and a worked example

Grade 10 CAT internet questions test browser, URL and online-communication concepts drawn directly from real past-paper scenarios -- what a web address reveals, why the 'Back' button might be greyed out, or how a fax differs from e-mail as a way to send a document.

Worked example

4.1.1 Explain in detail how she could send this error message (exactly as it appears) electronically to someone at the website indicated. Mention in your answer any software she might need to use.

Answer & explanation

Capture the message using Print Screen key or a Snipping Tool. Paste in a document/e-mail message. Send the message using her e-mail program.
To send the error message electronically, she can follow these steps: 1. **Capture the Message:** Use the Print Screen key on the keyboard or a Snipping Tool to capture the error message exactly as it appears on the screen. 2. **Paste the Image:** Open a document or an e-mail message and paste the captured image into it. This can be done by right-clicking and selecting 'Paste' or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + V. 3. **Send the Message:** Use her e-mail program to send the document or e-mail message with the pasted error message to the intended recipient at the website indicated. This ensures the recipient sees the exact error message.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every 'https' or padlock question is only about security rather than about what the address itself reveals (domain, protocol, page). Learners also often describe an e-mail feature (like a distribution list) in general terms instead of the specific CAT definition being tested.
