print "Hello World." works in BASIC, too.

Python, without a qualifier, now unambiguously refers to Python 3; in Python 3, "print" is a function and the example is incorrect. So the example should be modified.

Goodness knows in how many languages print("Hello World.") is valid.

In Python print is a function so you need the parentheses

Sure, the printed string doesn't matter but it's funny the hints are inconsistent. Hello World. Hello, new world! Hello, World! hello, world

There are a number of problems here.

* The Python example is Python 2, which is no longer maintained

* The PHP example is also valid in most shell scripting languages. Too generic.

* Typing "C" auto-populated the "C#" answer, which seems like too much of a gimme

* You don't include required boilerplate in e.g. Java, why include it for VB? Just takes up space.
