Question about resistors.

Hi, I have a continuity test on my multimeter, and when i tested a
couple resistors, my meter beeped. Now the one resistor, as it beeped
showed the proper resistance, does this mean the resistor is shorted?

I'm not sure about your multimeter, but a continuity test usually means
that the resistance is less then several MegaOhms. So any low/med value
resistor should pass the test.
