Question

which statement will remove 5:softball from the dictionary? sports = {2:football, 3:soccer, 4:volleyball, 5:softball} sports.pop(5) sports.pop() sports.remove(softball) sports.remove()

Explanation:

In Python, the pop() method for dictionaries removes and returns an element with the specified key. Here, the key of the element to be removed is 5. The pop() method without an argument will remove and return the last inserted key - value pair (in Python 3.7+ where dictionary insertion - order is preserved). The remove() method is not a valid method for dictionaries. To remove the key - value pair with key 5 from the sports dictionary, sports.pop(5) should be used.

Answer:

A. sports.pop(5)
