Read a path from the outside folder toward the file. A slash separates each step in this paper model. A file name alone can be ambiguous. Check its folder and contents rather than trusting an attractive icon.

Worked example

Projects/Art/sketch.png means open Projects, then Art, then sketch.png. It is not the sketch.png inside Projects/Science.

Science folder: Projects/Science/notes.txt: Projects/Science/sketch.png. Art folder: Projects/Art/sketch.png: Same name, different place.
Read the labeled example and the full passage before answering.

The Pretend Project Shelf

Our fictional Projects folder contains Science and Art. Science holds notes.txt and sketch.png. Art also holds a different sketch.png. The two sketches have the same name but different full paths. All three files stay on the same pretend computer. No real files need to be opened, moved or uploaded.

Question 1 Which path identifies the Art sketch?
Question 2 How many files named sketch.png are on the pretend shelf?
Question 3 How many files are inside Science?
Question 4 Is sketch.png alone enough to identify one of the two sketches?
Question 5 Which action best checks that you found the intended file?
