Chapter 01 Multiple Choice Questions

The document contains a set of multiple choice questions about software engineering concepts covered in the first chapter of a textbook. The questions cover topics such as why software engineering is important, the layers of software engineering, common software engineering activities and frameworks, planning for reuse, agile development processes, and the objectives of software development projects. None of the questions relate to why computer hardware costs so much or why software errors cannot be removed prior to delivery, indicating those are no longer modern concerns for software engineers.
