Multiple choice
A state has unperturbed energy E0=2E_0 = 2 and a perturbation HH' with matrix elements 0H0=0.4\langle 0|H'|0\rangle = 0.4 and 1H0=0.3\langle 1|H'|0\rangle = 0.3; the other level sits at E1=5E_1 = 5. Through second order, E=E0+0H0+1H02/(E0E1)E = E_0 + \langle 0|H'|0\rangle + |\langle 1|H'|0\rangle|^2/(E_0 - E_1). What is EE?
