I am currently studying for my Java exam and I am stuck on two questions:

1. Which answer is most accurate. An if statement :
A. contains an else clause
B. allows a choice of statements to be executed
C. may iterate multiple times
D. should end with a break statement

2. Which answer is most accurate. An else statement :
A. contains an else clause
B. should end with a break statement
C. may iterate multiple times
D. allows a choice of statements to be executed

Could anyone give me some guidance on this please.

well try this

if {i eat}
I will not be hungry
else
I will be hungry

1 is obviously "allows a choice of statements," but 2 is confusing. There's no such thing as an "else statement," formally speaking. There is however an "if/else" or just plain "if" statement. For 2, having to choose between A and D, I'd say the most accurate statement is A.

I think 2 was written to confuse the reader either that or the person who wrote it had no clue what they were talking about...

1. B
2. A

1 would be B, 2 would be A.

For and While loops would most resemble C. A case clause within a Switch statement should end with a break statement.
