Solution

The true statement about slicing strings is: "If the starting index is negative, Python counts backward from the end of the string."

Here's why:

  1. The slice() method is not used to slice a string in Python. Instead, we use the slicing operator [].

  2. Python does not generate a runtime error if the starting index is negative. Instead, it counts backward from the end of the string.

  3. You do not always need to provide both the starting and ending indexes when slicing a string. If you omit the starting index, Python starts at the beginning of the string. If you omit the ending index, Python goes to the end of the string.
