What is a topos?

  1. A category with a natural numbers object

  2. A category with a power object

  3. A category with a subobject classifier

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D

What is the Yoneda embedding?

  1. A functor from a category to the category of presheaves on that category

  2. A functor from a category to the category of sheaves on that category

  3. A functor from a category to the category of sets

  4. A functor from a category to the category of groups


Correct Option: A
