    We aren't going to do your homework for you. What has your research told you? Have you written any example programs to test your assumptions?

    A class can only extend one other class. Recommended reading: Inheritance (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Interfaces and Inheritance)

    Something (perhaps not all) is explained in the Java tutorial: Inheritance (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Interfaces and Inheritance)

    The extends keyword can only be used:
    a) In a class to extend 1 other class.
    b) In an interface to extend N other interfaces.

    P.S. "extends" is also used for bounds in Generics ... but it's all another story.
