Which statement is not true about static variables?

A static variable retains its stored value for the lifetime of the application Only variables declared within procedures may be static.

In order to declare a static variable, replace Dim with Static Static variables are destroyed when the procedure terminates.

Values passed to procedures are called _______________.

Specifiers Sub Variables Parameters Arguments

What is the difference between passing an argument by value or by reference?

Passing by value creates a new memory location used in the procedure to hold the value passed so the value can not be altered by the procedure; while passing by reference accesses the same memory location as the passed value, thus having the ability to alter the original value. Passing by reference creates a new memory location used in the procedure to hold the value passed so the value can not be altered by the procedure; while passing by value accesses the same memory location as the passed value, thus having the ability to alter the original value. Passing by value is more stable than passing by reference. ByVal replaces Dim when declaring a parameter to passed by reference.

To pass a parameter by reference, use the _________ keyword to in the declaration of the parameters variables.
ByRef ReDim Dim

The application program returns back to the original place where the function or procedure was called, and then waits for the user to initiate the next event. The application program waits for a users to initiate the next event. The application program returns back to the original place where the function or procedure was called, and resumes executing the code at the next line. The application program terminates.
