a) 2
b) 4
c) 5
d) 8
Discussion
Explanation: + appends all the elements individually into a new list.

addItem(mylist)
print(len(mylist))
a) 1
b) 4
c) 5
d) 8
Discussion
Explanation: + will append the element to the list.
8. What will be the output of the following Python code?

i = i + 3
return result
a) Return a list containing every third item from L starting at index 0
b) Return an empty list
c) Return a list containing every third index from L starting at index 0
d) Return a list containing the items from L starting from index 0, omitting every third item
Discussion
Explanation: Run the code to get a better understanding with many arguments.
