How to approach select two (multi-select) questions

Multi-select questions tell you to 'Choose TWO' or 'Choose THREE'. Getting partial credit is not a thing — you must select all correct answers with no incorrect ones. The stem always states how many to choose, so trust it. These questions require precision, not best-guess elimination.

Which TWO statements about systemd journal and rsyslog are correct?

A
rsyslog reads log messages directly from the journal files in /var/log/journal.
Why wrong: rsyslog does not read journal files; it receives messages via socket or from journald forwarding.
B
The command 'journalctl --list-boots' lists only the current boot's journal entries.
Why wrong: --list-boots lists all boots for which journal data is available, not just the current.
C
The command 'journalctl -u sshd.service' outputs the same as 'tail -f /var/log/messages' for SSH logs.
Why wrong: /var/log/messages is a text file; journalctl outputs from the binary journal, and they may not be identical.
D
The journal stores logs in a structured binary format, allowing filtering by fields like _UID or _SYSTEMD_UNIT.
journald uses structured logging with various metadata fields.
E
The journal can forward log messages to rsyslog by setting ForwardToSyslog=yes in /etc/systemd/journald.conf.
This configuration enables forwarding from journald to syslog.
