Ensure the the word Emergency is entered as "Emergency", which mean CASE SENSITIVE! So, for me, in the 3rd question, option 1 is the right option.

In the 3rd question, the correct answer is the first one, however, it should have been put like this: IsMatch( TextInput1.Text, "Emergency",Contains) because the statement says that it was written as "Emergency" and not as "emergency".

Now() only because Today() only includes current date not time. Switch() or IF() (nested ifs) Third one is tricky, because I gives you the idea of the field requires to be exactly equal to "Emergency", so I thought that some validation and conversion was needed, but looking at the options, none of them check that the the text is exactly "Emergency", so I just went with the option that ensures that if "Emergency" is inputted then the validation is true (Option 2, although in theory option 3 would work too, as it is the same condition in the second part of the or, but it does not have any sense to use a statement like that)

Now that I'm thinking maybe the actual question in the Exam has "isMatch( TextInput1.Text, "Emergency", Contains)" as the first option, and that should be the answer. Because, it does not have any sense to have two possible correct answers

3rd would be asked as inputing 'emergency' and in conditions check for 'Emergency' then Ignorecase would work. But as its the otherway rond would go with option 1, we can't Ignore case ;)

For the 3rd question. It has to be case insensitive. If else, there is no correct answer.

These functions perform a case-sensitive match. Use MatchOptions.IgnoreCase to perform case-insensitive matches. So question 1 should be option 1.

sorry, question 3 should be option 1.

Agree about case-sensitive search, but unfortunately, no one variant provides us with "Emergency" with a capital E. In this case, the most fit variant will be option 3.

Given answer is correct. Ex: from Microsoft Doc: IsMatch( TextInput1.Text, "Hello world" ) Tests whether the user's input matches, exactly, the string "Hello world". true IsMatch( TextInput1.Text, "Good bye" ) Tests whether the user's input matches, exactly, the string "Good bye". false IsMatch( TextInput1.Text, "hello", Contains ) Tests whether the user's input contains the word "hello" (case sensitive). false IsMatch( TextInput1.Text, "hello", Contains & IgnoreCase ) Tests whether the user's input contains the word "hello" (case insensitive). true
