Huh?? "and this object refered to another thread" "e) The thread's sleep() method was invoked. " says that? I dont think it refers to another thread. For example, mythreadobject pass to another anotherthreadobject so call mythreadobject.sleep() in this method cause the thread to sleep?

Note that sleep is a static method of the Thread class. It is always the Thread that calls sleep that goes to sleep. How could it be any other way? Also yield is a static method. All objects have a wait method by virtue of inheritance from Object, however, a Thread calling its own wait method is useless. When wait is used in a program, it is the wait method of a particular object.
