Question

One of the following allows an individual to start and continue to share regularly any of his/her own personal experience, knowledge, opinion or thought with the internet community?

• A. Portal
• B. Email
• C. Blog
• D. Chat

Hint:

Think of the online personal diary format that anyone on the internet can read and comment on.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The question is describing a specific kind of online platform, so the fastest way to answer is to test each option against the key words: individual, regular, and internet community.

1. Portal: A portal such as a news or search portal gathers links and content from many sources, it is not one person's personal, repeated posting space.
2. Email: Email sends a message to chosen recipients directly, so it is private communication rather than open, ongoing sharing with a wider community.
3. Blog: Correct. A blog is a personal website or page where someone regularly publishes posts about their experiences, knowledge or opinions, and it stays open for the internet community to read and comment on.
4. Chat: Chat is instant and typically one to one or in small private groups, built for quick conversation, not for building an archive of public posts.

Because a blog is the only option built for one person's continuing, public posting, option (C) is correct.

Let's summarize:

• Blogs are public, ongoing, and centered on one author's regular posts.
• Portals, email and chat serve different purposes such as aggregation or private messaging.

So blog is the right answer.
