Answer 1

dependencyManagement is just here to define dependencies version for all project submodules, the only pertinent scope in this section is import for BOMs.

Scope must be defined in dependencies section.

[edit]

The first statement has an exception, the scope provided in dependencyManagement section will override defined scope in dependencies sections. see DependencyManagement to force scope
