11. (D) Note that “TOMATO” precedes both “tomato” and “tom”, since “T” precedes “t”. Also, “tom” precedes “tomato” since the length of “tom” is less than the length of “tomato”. Therefore each of the following is true:
strA.compareTo(strB) < 0 strA.compareTo(strC) < 0 strC.compareTo(strB) < 0
So
Choice A is T and F which evaluates to F Choice B is F or F which evaluates to F Choice C is F and T which evaluates to F Choice D is T and T which evaluates to T Choice E is T and F which evaluates to F
