Q610:
How do Thread.IsBackground and Thread.Priority properties affect a thread's execution?
A. IsBackground determines if a thread is a background thread, and Priority sets its execution priority
B. IsBackground sets the thread's execution priority, and Priority determines its background status

Correct Answer:
A
Chapter: 33
Q615:
How does Task.Run differ from creating a new Thread directly?
