Hello,

The question states

Which of the following are required to construct a Locale?

If a question (on the exam) states that we are required to "construct" something - does it imply that the constructor will be used to generate the object (as opposed to a Builder)? Because one can technically construct (if it means just a general "create") a Locale through a builder, and then the second parameter that would need to be used would be "region", not "country".

I'm wondering because if a question like this comes up on the exam with 2 possible answer choices, I'm not sure I would have selected "country" necessarily if I were to consider the Builder pattern for Locale "construction".

Yes, if the question is about Locale then you should consider only the Locale class and not Locale.Builder. The question will mention Locale.Builder if it wants you to.
