4. Which of the following is true about Sequence frames?
a) A sequence diagram has a frame consisting of a rectangle with a pentagon in its upper left-hand corner

8. Which of these are true with respect to the message arrows?
a) The synchronous message arrow is used when a sending individual continues execution after sending the message
b) The asynchronous message arrow is used when a sending individual suspends execution after sending the message

d) All of the mentioned

9. When is the operation executing, suspended and active?
a) An operation is executing when some process is actually running its code
b) An operation is suspended when it sends a synchronous message and it is waiting for the message to return

d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

11. Which of the following is true for optional fragments?
a) An optional fragment is a portion of an interaction that may be done
b) The fragment operator name is opt
c) Optional fragments have only a single operand, which must contain a guard
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

12. What is break fragment?
a) An fragment which has one or more guarded operands whose guards are mutually exclusive—that is, at most one of them can be true at any time
b) A fragment which has a single operand that is performed instead of the remainder of the enclosing fragment or diagram if the operand guard is true
c) A fragment which has a single operand that may or may not have a guard
d) None of the mentioned
