"You can obtain a lock on any object" is referring to you the programmer. In other words, the statement is about what is semantically possible, and yes, you can lock on any object.
and how am i suppose to know if the question is refering to me as a programmer or me as a JVM compiler or even consider the semantics.?!!!
from my point of view, the statement is false, because the part "...on any object" refers clearly to objects whether they are locked or unlocked.
Does anybody agress with me?
