- POST
- PATCH
- GET
- All of the above
Correct Answer: GET

Explanation: GET, PUT, and DELETE are idempotent. POST is not because multiple requests will likely result in multiple resource creations.
What does the 'defer' attribute do when included in a <script> tag?
- Executes the script immediately
- Downloads the script in parallel and executes after the document is parsed
- Stops HTML parsing until the script is downloaded
- Prevents the script from running
Correct Answer: Downloads the script in parallel and executes after the document is parsed
