Wait, is this code even legal? I'm just going to guess option B and hope the compiler catches this mess. If not, I'll be the one in a world of 'Hello' and 'world!'

This is a bit of a brain-teaser, but I'm feeling confident. I'm going to have to go with option A - 'Hello world!'. That's my final answer, and no, I don't need to phone a friend.

Ah, I see what's going on here. The string addition is using insert(0, a), so it's going to prepend the string. I'll go with option C - 'world!Hello'.

Yes, that's correct. The string will be prepended, so it will show: world!Hello.

Yes, the insert(0, a) will add 'world!' before 'Hello'. Option C is the answer.

I think you're right, it will prepend the string. Option C sounds correct.

Hmm, let me think this through. The code is using templates, and it looks like there's a specialization for the string type. I'm going to guess option A - the program will display 'Hello world!'
