To handle exceptions in an async/await function, you should use the 'try...catch' statement. This allows you to wrap the awaited code in a 'try' block and catch any exceptions that may occur within the 'catch' block. Using 'try...catch' ensures that your program can gracefully handle errors and prevent them from crashing your application.

JavaScript supports runtime polymorphism and ad-hoc polymorphism (also known as function overloading), allowing different behavior for functions with the same name but different parameters. Parametric polymorphism is associated with generics and is not a form of polymorphism in JavaScript.

The status property of the XMLHttpRequest object holds the HTTP status code of the response received from the server. It indicates whether the request was successful or encountered an error. statusText contains the status message associated with the status code. response contains the response data.

In JavaScript, a two-dimensional array is declared by creating an array where each element is another array. This creates a matrix-like structure. For example, let arr = [[], []]; declares a 2x2 two-dimensional array. The other options contain syntax errors or do not create a valid two-dimensional array.

In order to create a private variable in JavaScript, you might utilize a "Module." A module is a design pattern that allows you to encapsulate data and functions, providing a way to create private variables and methods. This helps in achieving data encapsulation and preventing unwanted external access.

The prototype property of a function in JavaScript allows you to add new properties and methods to all instances created by that function. This is useful for implementing inheritance and sharing common behavior among objects created from the same constructor function. It doesn't create new instances or change the function's name or scope.

The NodeList is not an array, but you can use the NodeList.prototype.forEach() method directly to iterate over its nodes without converting it to an array. It provides a convenient way to work with NodeLists, making it the suitable choice.

The findIndex() method is used to find the index of the first element in an array that satisfies a provided testing function. It iterates through the array, executing the function for each element until a match is found or it reaches the end of the array.

The pop() method in JavaScript removes the last element from an array and returns that element. This operation reduces the length of the array by 1. It's the opposite of the push() method, which adds an element to the end of the array. pop() is useful for removing elements from the end of a stack-like structure.

The correct method to send a request to a server using an XMLHttpRequest object is the send() method. It sends the request to the specified URL, initiating the request to the server. The open() method is used to set up the request, while fetch() is used with the Fetch API.
