I'm confused, what is the question asking? I'd like to answer it today, but with this question it would all be a shot in the dark.

( It would all be a shot in the dark ). That's what I did. Checked all and got points. I am not sure about this option. Will have to test it on some server. I thought its same and never observed time in seconds.
-- If a log file has lots of free space, shrinking the transaction log file in SQL Server 2005 is faster than shrinking the transaction log file in SQL Server 2000.

Not a very interesting or up-to-date question. I would have expected comparisons between 2005 and 2008.

3 of the 4 options are correct. But, this statment can't be true:
"Reducing the physical size of a log file requires shrinking the file."
You can truncate a transaction log and that will reduce the physical size of the log file, therefore shrinking is not required.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm playing catchup on old questions I skipped over.

I am behind on all of them but I am playing catchup anyway :)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but truncating the transaction log, either by changing the recovery model from FULL or BULK_LOGGED to SIMPLE, or using the depreciated command BACKUP LOG <DBNAME> WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY, simply marks the space used by the committed transactions as reusable. To physically shrink the ldf file, you must use the DBCC SHRINKFILE.
