B. modification anomalies.
C. normal forms.
D. transitive dependencies.

 Answer Option B

14. A key:

A. must always be composed of two or more columns.
B. can only be one column.
C. identifies a row.
D. identifies a column.

 Answer Option C

15. An attribute is a(n):

A. column of a table.
B. two dimensional table.

 Answer Option A

16. A relation in this form is free of all modification anomalies.

A. First normal form
B. Second normal form
C. Third normal form
D. Domain/key normal form

 Answer Option D

17. If attributes A and B determine attribute C, then it is also true that:

A. A → C.
B. B → C.
C. (A,B) is a composite determinant.
D. C is a determinant.

 Answer Option C

18. A tuple is a(n):

A. column of a table.
B. two dimensional table.
C. row of a table.
D. key of a table.

 Answer Option C
