confused by the MindQ' question

[yanish]

22. If you want subclasses to access, but not to override a superclass member method, what keyword should precede the name of the superclass method? (Fill in blank).

Was I wrong?

I think it should be "final" -- can somebody confirm?

Your are right. This is actually the purpose of final keyword when applied to methods. This means that the behaviour of the method is final and cannot be changed by overriding it in the subclass.
Who can access this method depends on the accessiblity control keyword ie. public , protected etc.
