Unfortunately, this test will not be able to receive a prize:
Not an original test. Questions, answers, explanations were copied from an existing test. E.g.: “#q16” <= https://mympsc.com/Share.aspx?ArticleID=5A5A6E1D-63C4-4B52-9EB3-467DE9F358EE, “#q19” <= http://www.gk-all.com/One-byte-is-equal-to-how-many-bits, "#q8" <= https://mympsc.com/Share.aspx?ArticleID=87715D96-C55B-4A6C-A018-3966106A4BD7
I would like to say though the links mentioned resemble my questions; I prepared my questions by myself and from my course notes.
I will come up with more unique and different questions next time.
Thank you for the comment and I appreciate all the work you do.
Question "Programs that are designed to perform a specific task is calles" has a typo in the description; it says "calles" instead of "called".
Question about a document on the World Wide Web that can include texts, pictures, sounds and video has a typo in both the answer and the explanation; it says "webapge" instead of "webpage".
In Question 8, it is stated that the binary digit 0 refers to a state of absence, but this isn't necessarily true, at least not without any context. For example, in NRZ binary coding a 0 is encoded as a "negative"[1], not an "absence".
This could be fixed by adding context to the question which details where the 0 is used.

More specification and context will be considered for the future.
For this one what was considered was basic binary data definition:
"Often, binary data is used to represent one of two conceptually opposed values, e.g:
the outcome of an experiment ("success" or "failure"),
the response to a yes-no question ("yes" or "no"),
presence or absence of some feature ("is present" or "is not present")..."
