	B.	<% and %>
	C.	<ASP> and </ASP>
	D.	{" and "}
	The correct answer is B. The ASP delimiters may be on the same line of code or on different lines, as appropriate. A is incorrect because these delimiters are used for comments. C and D are incorrect because they are invalid delimiters in ASP or HTML.

	C.	The HTML results of the interpreted ASP script are displayed on the browser.
	D.	The ASP script segments are displayed on the browser in a different color.
	The correct answer is C. The server interprets the ASP code and outputs HTML to the browser. A is incorrect because the user cannot view the ASP code, even by viewing the source in the browser. B is incorrect because the browser does not receive ASP code, just the interpreted HTML. D is incorrect, again because the user's browser does not receive the ASP code itself.

3.	Where are ASP scripts executed? Please select the best answer.
