Interesting question, but the title meant it was easy to get the right answer.
Though it looks like almost half the people who answered didn't read the title 😉

I'm one of the ones who did not read the title. I hate missing a question like that!

count me in that half! Obvious if you do.
Also, the question should specify this is SQL2012 specific (alter server role).
you would also need to be logged onto the server when running SSMS to use localhost

I wonder how many people gave an "incorrect" answer, based on the fact that they were not using SQL2012, but an older version. Then the correct options would have 1, 4 and 6.

Got it wrong, but also got this when I ran the script in SQLCMD mode:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'ROLE'.
Running on 2008. Is it just a 2008/2012 issue? (If so, should have been posted with question.) Or am I missing something else?

ALTER SERVER ROLE is new functionality added with SQL2012
Thanks Stewart for the info.

This is the first time I have tried answering one of these questions. I did notice that the title seemed to give away the answer, so I thought that might be a trick. Even so it seemed like a fairly simple example, so despite the fact that I am a total newbie, I thought I might be able to get it right. HOWEVER, I didn't notice the "(Choose 3)" in the instructions and thought I had to choose my (one) "answer" so tried to select the answer that was the "most" correct, i.e., the one that reflected the final result, not all of the other results that would occur in between. Sigh. OK, note to self: Read all the instructions carefully before starting the exercise.

Hummm... If I knew this was 2012 specific then I would have probably not attempt to run it. Here is my result when running it in SS2K8R2

Can anyone explain to me why the script runs without error on my system, every time I try it?
The only things I changed are:
* Change "localost" to "perFact\SQL2012" in the :connect commands (I'm running on a named instance)
* Add a USE tempdb before the DROP DATABASE (otherwise it would hang, waiting for the DB to be no longer in use)
Here's a copy/paste of my code. I am sure I miss someting elementary - but what?
--run this in sqlcmd mode
USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [QODMaster] WITH PASSWORD=N'takethepebblefrommyhand', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
ALTER SERVER ROLE [dbcreator] ADD MEMBER [QODMaster]
GO
:connect perFact\SQL2012 -U QODMaster -P takethepebblefrommyhand
create database QODTest
go
use QODTest
go
select * into MyDatabases from sys.databases
go
:connect perFact\SQL2012
alter authorization on database::QODTest to sa
go
:connect perFact\SQL2012 -U QODMaster -P takethepebblefrommyhand
use QODTest
go
select * from MyDatabases
go
:connect perFact\SQL2012
use tempdb
drop database QODTest
drop login QODMaster
