I keep mixing up the caret and the dollar sign. I hope I remember correctly that A is the start of the string!

I'm a little confused by this question. I know regular expressions have a lot of different symbols and modifiers, but I'm not totally sure which one is specifically for the start of a string. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the ^ symbol is used for something in regex, but I can't quite remember if it's for the start of the string or something else. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I think it's option A. The ^ is the way to indicate the beginning of a string, isn't it? Although, I'm now second-guessing myself...

I'm pretty sure it's option A. The ^ is the start-of-string anchor, not the end-of-string one.
