Which of the following is a key step in producing a topological ordering for a directed graph?
- Looking for a node with an indegree of one and adding it to the ordering
- Removing all outgoing edges from a node in the graph
- Adding all nodes to the ordering in a random order

What is the significance of a node with an indegree of zero in a topological ordering?
What is the significance of a node with an indegree of zero in a topological ordering?
- It has the highest indegree in the graph
- It is the first node in the ordering (correct)
- It is the last node in the ordering
- It has the lowest indegree in the graph
What happens to a node once it is added to the topological ordering?
What happens to a node once it is added to the topological ordering?
- It and its incoming edges are removed from the graph
- It is marked as visited but remains in the graph
- It is marked as visited and removed from the graph
