The alternative 3 and 5 are equivalent?

[admin]

No, option 3 specifically tells you that the given code is in a JSP document. While option 5 does not. The code is invalid in a regular jsp file.

[johnlong]

JSP Document implies that the page is written in XML. In the XML syntax, request time attributes are specified using %= and %. i.e. without < and >

Does this syntax (without < and >) for JSP documents apply only to expression, or it does apply to scriptlets and declarations as well?

[admin]

Only for scriptlet expressions. Please check JSP specification section 6.2 for complete details.
