y = "THE QUICK RED FOX JUMPED OVER THE DOG" 

1. x = left (y,5)
2. x = Instr (5,y "QUICK")
3. x = mid (y,5,5) 
4. x = middle (y,5,5) 

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : x = mid (y,5,5) 

Concept:

Visual basic is an object oriented programming language used for the creation of type-safe. NET apps. It is a user friendly and event-driven programming language. It was created for the development of the web as well as mobile applications.

Explanation:

Visual basic has a mid function and a mid statement. These elements operate on a specified number of characters in a string but the mid function returns the characters while mid statement replaces the characters. 

Here to get the value QUICK from variable y we have to use the mid function.

y = "THE QUICK RED FOX JUMPED OVER THE DOG" 

x will be :

x = mid (y,5,5) 

it means, it starts from 5th character of the string and prints up to length 5 from that character and finally copies QUICK to variable x.
