Which statement is true about the Composition relationship?
The composition relationship connects one element to two or more elements from lower layers.
A composition relationship is always allowed between two instances of the same element type.
Source and target elements that are be connected by a composition relationship are seldom of the same element type.
The whole of a source element is composed of part of a target element.
Which statement is true about the Aggregation relationship?
The aggregation relationship indicates that an element groups one or more other concepts.
An aggregation relationship is never allowed between two instances of the same element type.
There is not a strict definition about source and target elements being connected by an aggregation relationship.
The whole of a source element is an aggregation of part of a target element.
Which statement is true about the Assignment relationship?
It allocates responsibility.
It can relate an external active structure element with an external behavior element.
It cannot be expressed by nesting the model elements
It always points from active structure to behavior, and from behavior to passive structure.
Which statement is true about the Realization relationship?
It indicates that an entity plays an secondary role in the operation of a more abstract entity.
It indicates that more abstract entities are realized by means of more tangible entities.
It is used to model time.
It is the "Aha!" moment when developing the best architectural design.
The Serving, Access, and Influence relationships are Dynamic Relationships.
TRUE
FALSE
Which statement is true about the Serving relationship?
It models that an element provides its functionality to another element of the same kind.
It describes how the services or interfaces offered by a passive structure element serve entities in their environment.
It models that an element retrieves service from another element.
The whole of the source element serves (is used by) the target element.
Which statement is true about the Access relationship?
It models the ability of active structure elements to observe or act upon passive structure elements.
It indicates that a process, function, interaction, service, or event "does something" with an active structure element.
It cannot be used to indicate that the object is just associated with the behavior.
The arrow on the relationship has no bearing to its directionality.
Which statement is true about the Influence relationship?
It models that an element affects the implementation or achievement of some physical element.
It is used to describe that some architectural element influences achievement or implementation of an application element.
It can be used to model "horizontal" contributions between motivation elements.
It should be used to represent relationships that are critical to the target object's existence or realization.
Which statement is true about the Triggering relationship?
It describes a persistent relationship between elements.
It indicates that the target element should be completed before the source element can start.
The triggering relationship is like a traffic light turning green signalling the cars to go through the intersection.
The triggering relationship describes a situational relationship between elements.
Which statement is true about the Flow relationship?
It represents transfer from one element to another.
It does not imply a causal relationship.
It is like a trigger, but is measured in time frames
It is exclusively between Gaps and Plateaus
Which statement is true about the Specialization relationship?
It indicates that an element is a product of another element.
It indicates that an element is a particular kind of another element.
It can be expressed by the arrow pointing in either direction.
Specialization is the converse of Realization.
Which statement is true about the Association relationship?
It models a specified relationship, or one that is not represented by another ArchiMate relationship.
It should never be used in lower-level models.
It can be used when drawing a first high-level model where relationships are initially denoted in a generic way.
It is never allowed between two elements, or between a relationship.
Which statement is true about the Junction relationship?
It used to connect relationships of the same type.
It cannot be used with assignment, realization, and association relationships.
It can only have multiple incoming relationships and one outgoing relationship.
It is not allowed to omit arrowheads of relationships leading into a junction.
In which relationship category is "Location" found?
Dependency
Generic
Dynamic
Structural
In which relationship category is "Grouping" found?
Derivation
Generic
Dynamic
Structural
What is the correct order of relationship in terms of strength? (weakest to stongest)
Composition, Aggregation, Assignment, Realization, Serving, Access, Influence
Influence, Access, Serving, Realization, Assignment, Aggregation, Composition
Part of the language definition is an abstraction rule that states that two relationships that join at an intermediate element can be combined and replaced by the weaker of the two.
TRUE
FALSE

Variable
Dependent
Dynamic
Static
Dependency relationships describe __________.
Static support for other elements.
Temporal dependencies between elements

Derivation
A Dynamic relationship can describe _________.
Static support for other elements.
Temporal dependencies between elements
How elements support or are used by other elements.
Derivation
Which statement is true about ArchiMate 3.1 generic relationship classifications?
Structural relationships model the trigger for or the construction or composition of concepts of the same or different type.
Dependency relationships model how elements are used to support other elements.
Dynamic relationships relationships describe temporal dependencies between elements within the architecture.
Other relationships are those that do not fall into one of the above categories
Which 2 of these relationships are in the Structural class?
Composition
Assignment
Serving
Association
Which 2 of these relationships are in the Dynamic class?
Triggering
Flow
Serving
Specialization
