Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Takes a list of primary-key values and returns a dictionary mapping each primary-key value to an instance of the object with the given ID.

2. Specifies the model that will be used to govern the many-to-many relationship. You can then put extra fields on the intermediate model. The intermediate model is associated with the ManyToManyField using this to point to the model that will act as an

3. This query finds all entries between a start date of start_date and an end date of end_date.

11. If you pickle a QuerySet - this will force all the results to be loaded into memory prior to pickling. When you unpickle a QuerySet - it contains the results at the moment it was pickled - rather than the results that are currently in the database.

12. A manager method that returns a new QuerySet containing objects that do not match the given lookup parameters.

13. (1) These cannot be Python reserved words - because that would result in a Python syntax error. (2) These cannot contain more than one underscore in a row - due to the way Django's query lookup syntax works.
