E.
HTML, Active Server Pages (ASP), IIS, SQL Server, ADO (ActiveX Data
Objects), and a Web browser
5) A client wants to gather real-time sales data from sales
representatives scattered throughout the world. The client then wants to distribute

CGI
B.
JSP
C.
HTML
D.
JavaScript

systems.
E. Your clerical employees lack the time resources to go through large
volumes of data.
7) The Human Resources (HR) manager of your company requests a new

present to the committee?
A.
the detailed budget requirements

A.
coupling
B.
cohesion
C.
modularity
