**Novice from Competent**

Given the 2D array generated using the following code snippet:

import numpy as np<br /> x = np.random.normal(size=(10,10))<br /> y = x[2:5,1:5]
———————————-

What is the shape of y?

1. (4,5)
2. (3,3)
3. (3,4)
4. (5,4)
5. (4,3)

Suppose you had an array generated by the following code:

x = np.arange(25).reshape((5,5))
<br /> array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4],<br /> [ 5,  6,  7,  8,  9],<br /> [10, 11, 12, 13, 14],<br /> [15, 16, 17, 18, 19],<br /> [20, 21, 22, 23, 24]])<br />

Which of the following commands would give you the following array?
<br /> array([[ 1, 4],<br /> [ 6, 9],<br /> [21, 24]])<br />

1. x[[0,1,4],[1,4]]
2. x[np.ix_([0,1,4],[1,4])]
3. x[np.meshgrid([0,1,4],[1,4])]
4. x[[0,1,4]][1,4]
5. x[[0,1,4]][[1,4],:]
