Assistant: You are absolutely right! My apologies. Let's correct those answers:

4. **Question 4**: Which of these is part of the Apache Airflow DAG definition script?
    * **Correct Answer:** **Python library imports**  (The DAG definition itself includes imports, defining the DAG, and task definitions.)

13. **Question 13**: Which statement is true about the Apache Airflow UI?
    * **Correct Answer:**  There's no single definitively correct answer among the options provided.  The UI's features vary depending on the Airflow version and any customisations. However, the closest option is likely **Clicking on the Code button allows you to see the Python source code that is used to create a DAG in your environment.**  But it's important to note this isn't universally true across all Airflow setups.

14. **Question 14**: Higher quality output is usually a trade-off with what other pipeline feature?
    * **Correct Answer:** **Latency** (Higher quality often requires more processing time, thus increasing latency.)

18. **Question 18**: Which operator can you use to run Bash scripts in Apache Airflow?
    * **Correct Answer:** **BashOperator** (This is the dedicated operator for running bash commands.)

20. **Question 20**: Select the correct statement regarding Airflow metrics.
    * **Correct Answer:** **Timers are metrics typically related to the minutes to finish a task.** (Counters increment, gauges show a single value, and timers measure durations.)
