The best way to customize a template file from a third-party module is to create a new theme that inherits from the parent theme and override the template file in the app/design/frontend/Custom/Theme/Vendor_Module/templates directory. This way, the customization is isolated from the original module and can be applied to a specific website or store view. Creating another layout file or a new module would not be as simple or flexible as creating a new theme. Reference:Frontend development guide, [Create a theme], [Theme inheritance]

The listens property is used for cross tracking property changes in the UI component. The listens property defines the dependencies between the properties of different UI components. It allows one UI component to listen to the changes of another UI component's property and react accordingly. For example, the listens property can be used to update the value of a text field based on the selection of a dropdown menu

Template hints are a useful tool for frontend developers to determine which template is rendering a specific element on the storefront. Template hints can be turned on using either of these two methods:

In the Admin Panel, navigate to Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > Debug. Set Enabled Template Path Hints for Storefront to Yes

On the command line, run the command; php bin/magento dev:template-hints:enable The other two options are incorrect because they do not exist as valid methods to turn on template hints. Reference:Adobe Commerce Developer Documentation,Adobe Inc.

To delete a manually installed theme, the developer needs to remove the theme directory from the app/design/frontend directory and also delete the corresponding record from the theme table in the database. The theme:uninstall CLI command is only used for deleting themes that are installed as Composer packages. Disabling the theme from the backend admin configuration does not delete the theme files or records, but only makes it unavailable for use. Reference: [Delete a theme], [theme:uninstall]

The default and production modes are the modes where errors are only written to a log file and not displayed on the screen. This is done to prevent exposing sensitive information to users and attackers. The default mode is the mode that Adobe Commerce runs in by default if no other mode is specified. The production mode is the mode that Adobe Commerce runs in when it is deployed to a live site. The developer can use the following command to check the current mode:

bin/magento deploy:mode:show

The other two options are incorrect because they display errors on the screen as well as writing them to a log file. The developer mode is the mode that Adobe Commerce runs in when it is under development or testing. The developer mode enables enhanced debugging and error reporting features.
