  1. True or false: The keys of a dictionary can be accessed by putting their associated value in square brackets after the dictionary.

taxes['tax'] = taxes['taxable'] * 0.1

    1. { 'income': 50000, 'taxable': 50000, 'tax': 5000 }
    2. { 'income': 60000, 'taxable': 50000, 'tax': 5000 }
    3. { 'income': 60000, 'taxable': 60000, 'tax': 5000 }
    4. { 'income': 60000, 'taxable': 60000, 'tax': 6000 }
  3. Which of the following statements are true about dictionaries? (pick one or more)
