The quiz I just completed asked questions that required providing answers that were not True/False. I had to guess.

As mentioned the questions were about saying what the output would be of the operators. The answer choices were only True/False. It was not a True/False question. This was on 2 of the four questions.

The questions are about comparison operations that return boolean values.

Boolean values are either True or False. So while the question itself was asking you what the output of the operators would be, since the operations return boolean values the only possible choices are True and False.

For example, if the question asked, "What is the output of '9 == 2'?", since 9 is not equal to 2 the answer would be "False".
