The document contains multiple choice questions about software development methodologies and the systems development life cycle (SDLC). It asks about which methodology combines analysis and design with models and prototypes (parallel development), which methodology develops a system in sequential versions (phased development), and which phase the functional specification is drafted (analysis phase). It also asks about which methodologies are better for short schedules (RAD methodologies), the first step of the SDLC (problem/opportunity identification), and the methodology that repeats analysis, design, and implementation (waterfall).
