Question 1

Which file format is MOST commonly used to document project requirements so the entire team can reference them?

.md (Markdown)

Markdown (.md) files are widely used for project documentation because they are human-readable, version-controllable, and render cleanly on platforms like GitHub.

Question 2

What is the main advantage of using a shared online repository like GitHub for a team project?

In a code review, a reviewer leaves a comment that says 'nit: extra space here.' What does 'nit' signal?

Accepted Answer

A minor, low-priority style issue that is optional to fix

'Nit' (short for nitpick) signals a small stylistic or formatting issue that reviewers flag but typically do not block merging over.

Question 4

Which of the following BEST describes 'psychological safety' in a collaborative coding team?

Accepted Answer

Team members feel safe to ask questions, share ideas, and admit mistakes without fear of judgment

Answer

Psychological safety means team members can take interpersonal risks—like asking 'dumb' questions or flagging errors—without fearing negative consequences.

Question 5

A project uses labels like 'bug,' 'enhancement,' and 'help wanted' on its issue tracker. What purpose do these labels serve?

Accepted Answer

They categorize and prioritize issues so contributors can find relevant work quickly
