 6. TCP/IP has two parts: the Transmission converted protocol and the Internet Placement protocol.

  FALSE

  TRUE

 7. What does the TCP protocol do?

  It helps the users using the internet to be more knowledgeable about routing data

  It prepares messages for transmission and reassembles any received messages
