One page includes an image for which you must specify the correct file path by relative reference.
For specific information about what the exam requires, see the the exam instructions in Microsoft Word. Source text and detailed instructions are provided.
Resulting work must be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to a specified Web server.
