6. Which of the following devices can be used to connect a 10base2 lan to a 10 baseT lan?
a. hub
b. repeater
c. router
d. bridge
e. gateway
you have the answer as router, but i was under the impression that gateways were used to connect LANs with different protocols or architectures.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

TCP/IP would be converted to IPX/SPX. Another common use of a gateway is to connect an Ethernet network to an IBM SNA mainframe environment.
However, a router can be used to connect different network types, as I also wrote in that same section:Common use of routers is to connect two different type of networks (for example Ethernet and Token ring) or to interconnect LANs into a WAN.
I hope this clears it up. Here are some other topics about the subject:
