Question 5 of 12

What is the purpose of defining priorities for event listeners/subscribers?

To specify which events should be handled first. To optimize event dispatching performance. To determine the order in which listeners are executed. To define the level of importance of an event.

Question 6 of 12

If multiple listeners are subscribed to the same event, which listener is executed first by default?

The listener that was registered last. The listener with the lowest priority number. The order is random and unpredictable. The listener with the highest priority number.

Question 7 of 12

How can you stop the propagation of an event to subsequent listeners?

By calling

Question 8 of 12

What is the difference between an Event Listener and an Event Subscriber in Symfony?

Event Subscribers can listen to multiple events, while Event Listeners typically listen to only one. Event Listeners are classes, while Event Subscribers are functions. Event Listeners use annotations, while Event Subscribers use YAML configuration. Event Listeners are automatically registered, while Event Subscribers need manual registration.

Question 9 of 12

How can you access the Event Dispatcher service within a Symfony controller?

By injecting it as a dependency using constructor injection or autowiring. By calling

$this->get('event_dispatcher')

. By using the

EventDispatcher::getInstance()

static method. It's not possible to access the Event Dispatcher directly from a controller.
