Let’s go through each question one by one and think about what makes the most sense for staying safe online.

Question 1: The likelihood of being bullied online can be decreased by ___.
We want to pick the option that helps reduce bullying. Let’s look at each choice:
- “limiting photos posted online” → This makes sense. If you post fewer personal photos, especially ones that could be used to mock or target you, it reduces chances of being bullied.
- “not giving out social security number online” → That’s important for identity theft, not really for bullying.
- “accepting all friend requests” → Actually, this might increase risk — strangers could bully you if you accept everyone.
- “using a personal photo as a profile photo” → This could make you more visible and possibly targeted. Not helpful for reducing bullying.
✔ So the best answer is:
limiting photos posted online

Question 2: Which of the following should you NOT do on the internet?
This asks what is unsafe or bad practice.
- “Store your credit card information on sites so you don’t accidentally enter it in wrong in the future.” → This is risky! If the site gets hacked, your info could be stolen. You shouldn’t store sensitive data like this unless it’s a very trusted site with strong security — but generally, it’s not recommended.
- “turn off automatic location” → Good idea! Helps protect privacy.
- “post where you have been after you leave” → Safer than posting while you’re there. Still not perfect, but better.
- “limiting who can see statuses on social media” → Smart move for privacy.
So the thing you should NOT do is:
store your credit card info on sites just for convenience
✔ Answer:
Store your credit card information on sites so you don't accidentally enter it in wrong in the future.

Question 3: Which of the following precautions will help deter identity theft and scams?
Identity theft = someone stealing your personal info to pretend to be you. Scams = tricks to get your money or info.
Let’s check each:
- “typing URLs instead of following links from other webpages” → YES! Links can lead to fake websites designed to steal your info. Typing the address yourself avoids that trap.
- “turn off automatic location” → Good for privacy, but not directly related to identity theft/scams.
- “using random pictures as profile pictures” → Doesn’t stop scammers from tricking you.
- “not using full names as screen names” → Helps a little with privacy, but not enough to stop identity theft.
✔ Best answer:
typing URLs instead of following links from other webpages
---
Final Answer:
1. limiting photos posted online
2. Store your credit card information on sites so you don't accidentally enter it in wrong in the future.
3. typing URLs instead of following links from other webpages
