Suppose we write var1 = "It's me, Mario!" and var2 = 34.5. What happens if we run var1 + var2?

Consider what happens in R when you apply the + operator between values of incompatible types. 
Option 1: 'An error message saying var1 doesn't exist.' This is false because var1 was defined as a string literal "It's me, Mario!"; there is no missing variable name issue here, so the error about var1 not existing does not apply.
Option 2: 'An error message indicating that the variable types are incompatible.' This is the correct sweep. R performs numeric addition when using +, but here one operand is a character vector and the other is numeric, which cannot be combined with +. The result is an error about non-numeric or incompatible types for the binary operation, reflecting type mismatch rather than a missing variable.
Option 3: 'R won't print anything.' This is incorrect because R will attempt the operation and will raise an error rather than silently producing no output; you will see an error message, not silence.
Option 4: 'R will print just the text "It's me, Mario!".' This would only happen if + were concatenation or if you used some explicit print/concatenation operation combining strings, but + is not string concatenation in R and cannot combine with a numeric in this way, so the interpreter does not simply echo var1.
Option 5: 'R will print "It's me, Mario!34.5".' This would imply a string-then-number concatenation without a delimiter, which again is not how R handles + with mixed types; such behavior would require explicit conversion or a different operation, not automatic concatenation of a string with a number.
In summary, the scenario typifies a type mismatch for a binary operator, yielding an error about incompatible types rather than any of the other outcomes.
