Answer 1

I would greatly appreciate help. Thank you.

Answer 2

For 17, I think you only need the file name with the extension, example : index.html
For 19, I think to become live, you need just to host you website on the Web (put it online)
For 16, I think the benefit is when you change your domain name, you don't need to change the links inside your HTML code (inside the HTML code of the pages).

Answer 3

by diagramming you have image of the path for each link,

Answer 4

what language??

Answer 5

15) partial URLs are interpreted relative or linked relatively to the source not to the document like a absolute path is. I asked what language because in PHP particle URLs are common, JavaScript is not to friendly, Then you have CSS that loves particle URLs. The best usage would be when calling a url('../../image/image.jpeg') inside of a document body of the page.
16). Its less overhead on the web server (memory usage) when calling a relative path which makes the site faster,
17.) it is a relative link because its in the same file directory or folder and the link is calling what ever it is looking for by name, (say by first name) of a person who is in the same room as you, not the person in another room.
18.) you would use diagramming in you site , first to design the site as a whole , ie ( which page connects to which page, Index, home, site, page1, page2.. 2. you would use it to plan how your, visitors to the site would navigate from page to page using the different links that each page displays. This way you can test to see if your links and scripts are wired correctly.
19.) You website become live when you have finished testing and tuning your website and have move it from the test web server to live web server. Which is the server that is going to be hosting your site. it can be your own personal web server are it can be a Hosting Company.
