Hi all,
I think there's an issue with a solution of the Sample Test for the Fundamentals of Quantum Computing Using Qiskit v2.X Developer exam. The incriminated question is number 16:

Which error mitigation technique can be applied using resilience options?

The sample test reports c - Zero Noise Extrapolation as the only solution. However, the Configure error mitigation guide at https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/en/guides/configure-error-mitigation states that Resilience Level 2 also accounts for gate twirling, therefore making answer a correct, too.

If I am correct, solution to question 16 should therefore be changed to a, c.

For new content requests - if the request is accepted, do you want to write the content?

I only want to review the material when it's finished

Research direction

Start by reviewing question 16 in the linked C1000-179 sample-test PDF and comparing its answer key with the Configure error mitigation guide. Verify the claim about gate twirling at resilience level 2, then update the sample-test answer if confirmed; done means the answer and explanation match the current guide.
