Hmm, I wonder if the correct answer is 'C) one char' and the question is just a silly joke to see if we're paying attention. You know, like 'the original string is shorter by one character because it's been sliced down'. Nah, that's probably too much of a stretch.

Ah, Python string slicing. This is a piece of cake! Let's see, 'String[1:-2]' means we're keeping everything except the first and last two characters. That's definitely D) two chars.

The question is pretty straightforward. If the original string has six or more letters, and we're slicing out the first and last two, that's two characters on each end. So it's gotta be D) two chars.

I disagree, I think the answer is D) two chars because we are excluding the first and last characters.

Okay, so we're slicing off the first and last two characters. That's gotta be four characters in total, right? I'm going with A) four chars.

Hmm, let me think about this. If String is six or more letters long, then the slice 'String[1:-2]' will exclude the first and last two characters, right? Sounds like it should be shorter by two chars.
