3. _________ stores a log of the operations in a replica set.

c) db.createColl
d) all of the mentioned

6. If you perform a ________ on a capped collection with no ordering specified, MongoDB guarantees that the ordering of results is the same as the insertion order.
a) find()
b) write()
c) modify()
d) none of the mentioned

8. ___________ convert a non-capped collection to a capped collection.
a) ToCapped
b) convertToCap
c) convertToCapped
d) none of the mentioned

9. _________ command creates the capped collection and imports the data.
a) CollectionAsCapped
b) cloneCollection
c) cloneCollectionAsCapped
d) None of the mentioned

c) convertToCapped
