Question 496 of 513
1Z0-829 Handling Exceptions Practice Question
Which two statements about multi-catch blocks are correct?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers think multi-catch cannot be combined with finally or that the variable is not implicitly final, but the exam tests the exact rules: multi-catch works with finally, and the variable is implicitly final.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A multi-catch block can be used with a finally block.
A multi-catch block is a standard catch block that can handle multiple exception types, and it can be used with a finally block just like any other catch block. The finally block executes regardless of whether an exception is thrown or caught, and multi-catch does not alter this behavior. Option E is correct because the exception types in a multi-catch block must be disjoint, meaning they cannot be in a parent-child relationship; otherwise, the compiler would report an error due to unreachable code.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A multi-catch block cannot catch both checked and unchecked exceptions.
Why it's wrong here
Multi-catch can catch both checked and unchecked exceptions.
- ✓
A multi-catch block can be used with a finally block.
Why this is correct
A try statement can have multi-catch and finally.
- ✗
The variable in a multi-catch block is not implicitly final.
Why it's wrong here
The multi-catch variable is implicitly final.
- ✗
A multi-catch block can only be used with try-with-resources.
Why it's wrong here
Multi-catch can be used with any try constructs.
- ✓
The exception types in a multi-catch block must be disjoint.
Why this is correct
Multi-catch types must be disjoint to avoid catching the same exception twice.
