__________ is a way to quickly access a favourite website by saving it in your browser.
- (a)Cookie
- (b)Bookmark
- (c)Blog
- (d)None of these
Correct — B, Bookmark. A bookmark is a saved link (a stored URL) inside a web browser that lets you return to a favourite website with a single click, without retyping its address. In some browsers (such as Microsoft Edge / Internet Explorer) the same feature is called a 'favourite'.
- (a)Cookie — A cookie is a small data file a website stores in your browser to remember you (login, preferences, cart) — it does not save a site for quick access.
- (c)Blog — A blog is a website with regularly updated posts (a type of content), not a browser feature for saving links.
- (d)None of these — Wrong — a specific feature, the bookmark, exactly matches the description.
A bookmark is a browser convenience feature: it stores a website's address so you can revisit it instantly. Bookmarks can be organised into folders and synced across devices when you sign in to the browser. The equivalent term 'favourite' is used in some browsers.
The trap is to confuse browser terms. A cookie remembers information ABOUT you for a site; a bookmark remembers the ADDRESS of a site for you. The word 'saving it in your browser' points squarely to a bookmark.
- Bookmark = a saved link/URL in the browser for quick access to a website
- Called a 'favourite' in Microsoft Edge / Internet Explorer
- A cookie is a small data file storing site info (login, preferences) — different purpose
- A blog is a content website, not a browser feature
Only the bookmark saves a site's address for one-click return; a cookie remembers information, not a link.
- Confusing a bookmark (saves a link) with a cookie (saves data about you)
- Reading 'saving it in your browser' as anything other than a bookmark
Basic-computer questions define an everyday browser term. Fix the pairs: bookmark = saved link, cookie = stored data, cache = temporary files, history = list of visited sites.
