A team has a pipeline with stages: build, test. They want to add a 'package' job that runs after build but before test. What is the correct way to achieve this?

Add the package job to the test stage and use 'needs' to make it depend on build jobs.

Name the job 'package' and GitLab will automatically place it between build and test.

Add a new stage 'package' between build and test in the stages list, and assign the job to that stage.

Add the package job to the build stage and use 'needs' to make test depend on it.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between stages and jobs in a GitLab pipeline?

A job must belong to a stage, and the stage determines when the job runs relative to other jobs.

A job can belong to multiple stages, allowing it to run in parallel with itself.

Stages are optional; jobs without a stage run first.

Stages define which runner executes the jobs in that stage.

A team wants to run a linting job before any other jobs in the pipeline. They have a .gitlab-ci.yml with a default stage. What is the correct way to ensure the lint job runs first?

Name the job 'lint' and GitLab will automatically run it first.

Use the 'needs' keyword in the lint job to specify it needs no other jobs, and it will run first.

Put the lint job in the 'test' stage and rely on it being the first job in that stage.

Define a stage 'lint' and place it first in the stages list, then assign the lint job to that stage.
