Here's a better idea...why don't you tell us what you think the answer is and why, and we'll help guide you to the correct answers if you're wrong!!!

Welcome to the Ranch

Some of those questions, eg the one about worker methods, are by no means easy.
1c looks correct
2d
3c
4 Never heard those terms used.
5c
6 Don't understand the question
7d
8 I don't like any of the suggested answers, but I think you have got this one wrong.
9 true false
10b
11 You have got no 11 wrong
12 false false
13c
14 None of the suggestions, but I don't think you have got the correct answer.
15c

[Rob Spoor]

My corrections:
2: c. Technically arrays do not hold objects but references to objects (or primitives of course).
5: c. Variables are data.
8: I agree with Campbell. The only way attributes can be defined in an interface is through getter methods.
11: a. Default constructors are always public.
14: c. If you do not import you have to write things like java.util.List instead of List, that's the only advantage they provide.

Max, welcome to JavaRanch.

Please note that if you copy questions from a book, mock exam or other source, we require you to quote your sources - so please tell us where you got these quiz questions from.

[Campbell Ritchie]

Did I get no 2 wrong? Sorry. But it is actually (like several of those questions) a confusing question. As Jesper says, please quote your sources so we know not to try that quiz.

[Rob Spoor]

It's easy to get number 2 wrong. When you speak of arrays, you speak of arrays of Strings, arrays of Integers, etc. Therefore "an array of String objects" is something people will say, and I doubt that many professors would find answer d wrong if answer c was not present. But yes, technically it is an array of references to String objects.

[Campbell Ritchie]

Yes, I see your point, Rob.
