- A
Resources are closed in the reverse order of their declaration.
Correct; last declared resource closed first.
- B
Resources are closed in the same order as their declaration.
Why wrong: Incorrect; reverse order.
- C
Resources declared in try-with-resources must implement the Closeable interface.
Why wrong: They must implement AutoCloseable, not necessarily Closeable (though Closeable extends AutoCloseable).
- D
Resources declared earlier in the try clause are closed first.
Why wrong: Incorrect; resources are closed in reverse order.
- E
If an exception is thrown from the try block and another from a resource's close() method, the try block exception propagates and the close() exception is added as a suppressed exception.
The try exception is primary, close exceptions are suppressed.
1Z0-829 Handling Exceptions Practice Question
This 1Z0-829 practice question tests your understanding of handling exceptions. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO statements about try-with-resources are correct? (Choose two.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Resources are closed in the reverse order of their declaration.
Option A is correct because the Java Language Specification (JLS §14.20.3) mandates that resources declared in a try-with-resources statement are closed in the reverse order of their declaration. This ensures that if a resource depends on another declared earlier, the dependent resource is closed first, preventing resource leaks or inconsistent states.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse the closing order with declaration order or mistakenly think `Closeable` is required instead of `AutoCloseable`, leading them to select options B or C.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Under the hood, the try-with-resources construct generates bytecode that stores each resource in a local variable array and, in a finally block, iterates through the array in reverse order calling `close()`. A subtle behavior is that if an exception is thrown from a `close()` method, subsequent `close()` calls still execute, and any additional exceptions are added as suppressed exceptions to the primary exception. This is critical in scenarios like database connection pools where a connection failure during close must not mask the original SQL exception.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the 1Z0-829 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
