# Q02 — Module 2 self-check Answer five questions. Pass at 4/5; retry without limit. Explanations support learning, not exam security. A passing score does not certify physical testing. ## 1. What does staging select? A. The current contents for the next commit. B. Every future edit to the same file. C. A remote upload destination.
Answer and explanation Correct: A. Correct: staging records content at the time of selection. - B: Later edits can remain unstaged and need separate review. - C: Remotes configure destinations; staging chooses snapshot contents.
## 2. What does a clean Git status establish? A. All physical behavior is correct. B. The relevant repository states agree under tracking/ignore rules. C. Every test ran successfully.
Answer and explanation Correct: B. Correct: it describes Git state, not engineering correctness. - A: Repository state does not measure hardware. - C: Test success requires an actual command and result.
## 3. The editor shows the right file but a command cannot find scripts. What should you inspect first? A. Terminal working directory and expected root files. B. Account billing plan. C. Warning threshold implementation.
Answer and explanation Correct: A. Correct: relative paths follow the terminal location. - B: Billing cannot explain a local relative-path mismatch. - C: Changing policy does not fix a wrong folder.
## 4. After a baseline commit, harmless build-note.tmp is newly staged by mistake. Which operation preserves the file while unselecting it? A. git restore --staged -- build-note.tmp B. Delete the entire repository. C. git restore -- README.md
Answer and explanation Correct: A. Correct: this updates staging and retains working content in the specified state. - B: Deletion loses useful work and does not match the task. - C: This targets another file and working content, not the unwanted staging selection.
## 5. Ordinary diff shows a later README edit; cached diff shows an earlier README edit. What would a commit record now? A. Both versions automatically. B. Only the latest editor text. C. The staged version shown by the cached comparison.
Answer and explanation Correct: C. Correct: inspect and restage if the later edit should be included. - A: A commit records one selected snapshot, not both versions. - B: Later working edits do not automatically join staging.
