Selected Answer: B

This line will raise a SyntaxError for two reasons: list is a keyword (built-in type) and cannot be used like the list (with a space) — Python doesn't recognize the list as a valid variable name. the list is treated as two separate tokens: the and list, which makes the syntax invalid.

Selected Answer: A

The expression checks if the string ',' exists as an element in the list. However, ',' is not an element in ['alpha', '', 'omega']. Therefore, the expression evaluates to False.
