Question

1. which of the following expressions will result in \movie\?

let sentence = \the best movie plot\
a. print(sentence8:13)
b. print(sentence8:14)
c. print(sentence9:13)
d. print(sentence9:14)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze string slicing

In Python, string[start:end] (end not included).

Step2: Check each option

• Option A: print(sentence[8:13]) gives characters from index 8 to 12 (13 - 1).
• Option B: print(sentence[8:14]) gives characters from index 8 to 13 (14 - 1). The string "The best movie plot" has "movie" starting at index 8 (0 - based). "movie" is 5 characters. Indexes 8 - 13 (13 - 8+1 = 6, but "movie" is 5, actually Python slicing works as expected).
• Option C: print(sentence[9:13]) starts from index 9.
• Option D: print(sentence[9:14]) starts from index 9.

So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. print(sentence[8:14])
