+# User-level Threading Library
+
+## Scenario
+
+We aim to implement a user-level threading library that provides a POSIX Threads (`pthreads`) API.
+The library should be portable across different operating systems and architectures and should be usable in programs written in various programming languages.
+
+Answer the following questions with "True" or "False" and justify the answer.
+Justification should be simple, 2-3 sentences for each answer.
+
+## Questions
+
+1. The library can only be used in programs written in compiled languages, NOT interpreted ones.
+Answer: False
+
+1. The library can work on operating systems with and without kernel-level thread support.
+Answer: True
+
+1. The library does not need to expose synchronization primitives (working with mutexes, spinlocks, condition variables).
+Answer: False
+
+1. Programs using the library must be dynamically linked.
+Answer: False
+
+1. Code within the library does produce page faults.
+Answer: False
+
+1. Code within the library does not lead to system calls.
+Answer: False
+
+1. For creating a thread on Linux, the library uses the `clone()` system call.
+Answer: False
+
+1. Programs using the library can run in a Docker container.
+Answer: True
+
+1. Modifying a file cursor in one thread will be visible in another thread.
+Answer: True
+
+1. A program using the library will use only one core/processor.
+Answer: True
+
+1. Programs using the library cannot use shared memory to communicate with other processes.
+Answer: False
