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
✓
The 'side' parameter can be set to 'top', 'bottom', 'left', or 'right'.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The manager automatically ignores the order in which pack() is called.
Why it's wrong here
Pack is order-dependent.
- ✓
The 'side' parameter can be set to 'top', 'bottom', 'left', or 'right'.
Why this is correct
These are the valid values for the 'side' parameter.
- ✗
Widgets are placed in a grid coordinate system.
Why it's wrong here
That describes the grid() manager.
- ✗
Widgets are positioned at exact X and Y coordinates.
Why it's wrong here
That describes the place() manager.
- ✓
The 'fill' parameter can be set to 'x', 'y', 'both', or 'none'.
Why this is correct
These are the valid values for the 'fill' parameter.
