   Which HTTP method is conventionally used to update an entire resource in a RESTful API?

   1. PUT
   2. GET
   3. PATCH
   4. PULL
   5. POT

2. Resource Naming

   In RESTful design, which URI is considered the best practice for accessing the list of all books?

   1. /books
   2. /book-list
   3. /getAllBooks
   4. /Books
   5. /book

3. Status Codes

   What HTTP status code should a RESTful API return after successfully creating a new resource?

   1. 201
   2. 200
   3. 204
   4. 301
   5. 503

4. Versioning

   Which is the recommended way to version a RESTful API?

   1. Including the version in the URI, like /v1/products
   2. Adding a 'version' parameter in the request body
   3. Storing version in a cookie
   4. Appending version with a hash symbol (/products#v1)
   5. Relying on user-agent headers to imply version

5. Error Message Format

   What format is MOST commonly used for error messages in a modern RESTful API?

   1. JSON object
   2. Plain text
   3. CSV
   4. XML only
   5. YAML

6. Idempotency

   Which HTTP methods are defined as idempotent in RESTful APIs? Select the most correct option.

   1. GET, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS
   2. POST, PUT, GET, PATCH
   3. DELETE, POST, PATCH
   4. POST, GET, UPDATE
   5. PUT, PATCH, POST

7. Partial Updates

   When partially updating a resource using a REST API, which HTTP method should you use?

   1. PATCH
   2. POST
   3. GET
   4. PUT
   5. FETCH

8. Filtering and Query Parameters

   What is the most RESTful way to filter a list of users by role using query parameters?

   1. /users?role=admin
   2. /users/role/admin
   3. /user/filter/role/admin
   4. /users#role-admin
   5. /usersu0026role:admin

9. HATEOAS Principle

   What is the purpose of HATEOAS in a RESTful API?

   1. To allow clients to dynamically discover actions via hyperlinks
   2. To ensure resource names follow camelCase
   3. To validate input data before processing
   4. To optimize server-side caching
   5. To enforce single sign-on authentication

10. Authentication Practices

    Which authentication mechanism is commonly used in RESTful APIs for stateless and secure access?

    1. Bearer token (e.g., JWT)
    2. Session ID cookies
    3. Basic HTML authentication
    4. OAuth2 consent flow only
    5. Login with FTP
