Must be a error in the exam, for the second question variable to be hidden outside the package actually means accessibility of the class itself & then the variable.
Public is out of question & so is private What remains is protected & friendly. As much as I know protected allows access within the package and all the subclasses irrespective of the package they reside in hence the correct answer i suppose is Friendly.
Friends correct me if i am wrong.
The First question I have checked the Java API. The List() constructor by default creates 4 visible lines with multiselection mode disabled, hence the correct answer u have guessed it is 1 & 2. I am not sure about option 3.

The question does not talk of accessability within the package as such the variable can be private. However if the variable is public or protected it would be accessible outside the package. Thus the answers are correct.

Vivek,
When the java.awt.List is created using the no argument constructor, the default behaviour is to create four visible lines and default selection disabled.
I have no idea, why the number 4 was chosen. But I guess you will just have to remember this point for the exam.

RHE mentions on page 323, second sentence under List heading:
"If a list contains more items than it can display, it acquires a vertical scroll bar"
What I infer from it is that if required, it acquires vertical scroll bar.
Thanks.
