Which one of the lines should you put in the snippet below to match the expected output? Expected output: `` [4, 1, 7, 2, 'A'] ` Code: `python list = ['A', 2, 7, 1, 4] enter code here print(list) ``

Question

[4, 1, 7, 2, 'A']

list = ['A', 2, 7, 1, 4]

# enter code here

print(list)

Options

• AA. reverse(list)
• BB. list.reversed()
• CC. list.reverse()
• DD. reversed(list)

• A
  5% (2)
• B
  15% (6)
• C
  73% (30)
• D
  7% (3)

Explanation

Option C, list.reverse(), is correct because it's a built-in list method that reverses the list in-place - meaning it modifies the original list directly and returns None, which is exactly what's needed here since the code then prints list.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (reverse(list)) - reverse is not a standalone built-in function in Python; this raises a NameError.
• B (list.reversed()) - reversed is not a list method; calling it this way raises an AttributeError.
• D (reversed(list)) - This is a valid built-in function, but it returns a reverse iterator object, not a list, and it doesn't modify list in place - so print(list) would still show the original order.

Memory tip: Think of it as the method vs. function distinction - list.reverse() (method, no return value, modifies in place) vs. reversed(list) (built-in function, returns an iterator, original untouched). If you need to modify and print the same variable, the method is your answer.
