Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

These are the supplies in the list:

[‘pencil’, ‘notebook’, ‘backpack’, ‘pen’, ‘calculator’]

Step-by-step explanation:

The line return (\\) character will be in the output (so there will be a change of line), but it will NOT be visible as it would have been interpreted as a special character.

So the output will be on 2 different lines, with no \\ visible.

If the command would have been: print('These are the supplies in the list:\\', supplies), with single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") then then \\ would have been printed but not interpreted as a special character. At least in most computer language. Since we don't know of which language the question refers to, we can't be sure at 100%.
