When you call `obj.method(arg1, arg2)`, how many arguments does the method definition receive?

It depends on how the method is defined.

Three arguments: `self`, `arg1`, and `arg2`.

Two arguments: `arg1` and `arg2`.

What does `self` refer to inside a method of a class?

The current instance of the class

The module in which the class is defined

Why is `self` used as the first parameter in a method definition?

To make the method a static method.

To allow the method to access instance attributes and other methods.

To make the method return the instance.

To allow the method to be called without an instance.

Given the class: ```python class Counter: def __init__(self): self.count = 0 def increment(self): self.count += 1 ``` What does `self.count` in the `increment` method refer to?

A class attribute named `count`.

The instance attribute `count` of the current object.

A local variable named `count` inside the method.

A global variable named `count`.
