About Question enthuware.ocpjp.v7.2.1100 :

I think your explanation is contradictory.

"Here the anonymous class actually extends from MyListener class and successfully overrides the actionPerformed() method."

Then it does not extend directly from the Object class.

I don't see any contradiction. The explanation is showing you that an anonymous class may directly extend from Object class and it may not also. So the problem statement is false.
