Answer 1

To search for a three-letter word beginning with 't' and ending in 'p', the correct entry would be 't?p', where '?' stands for any single character.

Step-by-step explanation:

To search for a three-letter word that starts with 't' and ends with 'p', you would enter the letter 't', followed by a wildcard character, followed by the letter 'p'. The wildcard character is used to represent any unknown character that might appear in the search pattern. In the options provided, 't?p' would be the correct choice where the question mark '?' represents any single character that might come in between 't' and 'p'.

Answer 2

To search for a three-letter word that starts with "t" and ends with "p," you would enter A) t?p.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given search pattern, the question mark "?" is used as a wildcard representing any single character. Therefore, the pattern "t?p" indicates a three-letter word where the first letter is "t," the last letter is "p," and the middle letter can be any character.

"t" represents the fixed requirement for the first letter.

"?" represents any single character in the middle.

"p" represents the fixed requirement for the last letter.

Hence, the correct search pattern to find a three-letter word starting with "t" and ending with "p" is "t?p."

Option A is the answer.
