Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. A dollar repurchase agreement involves the sale of securities with an agreement to repurchase them at a later date, right? And a dollar roll is a type of repo transaction... I think the key is whether they are considered the exact same thing. I'll go with False just to be safe.
