Answers A and E are correct. A JOIN operation is needed to return related items from two or more tables. To perform a comparison against NULL data, you use the ISNULL operation. A UNION could return results from two tables but does not relate the data. BETWEEN is used to test whether a value falls within a given range, and you use IN to see if a value falls within a set of values provided.
