B) 1

C) 2

D) 3

Section C: One-Word Answers

Instructions: Provide the single technical term or keyword for each description.

2. The keyword in a selection statement that contains the fallback instruction executed only when a condition is False:

3. The Scratch block variable where a user's typed text response is automatically stored after asking a question:

4. In an interactive school morning routine, the programming structure needed to decide whether to walk or take an umbrella based on rain:

Section D: Match the Following

Instructions: Drag the definitions from Column B into the matching concept in Column A.

1. Sequence

Drop matching definition here

2. IF THEN ELSE

Drop matching definition here

3. Iteration

Drop matching definition here

Column B (Definitions / Examples)

A. Checks weather: if raining, take an umbrella; otherwise, carry on without one

B. A traffic light cycling through Red, Amber, and Green continuously

C. Code instructions carried out in a strict linear order from top to bottom

Section E: Arrange in Proper Sequence

Instructions: Number the steps in order from 1 to 4 for each procedure.

Item 1: Asking a User's Age and Reacting with Selection

Assign the user's typed input from answer to the variable UserAge.

Start the script when the green flag is clicked.

Ask the user "How old are you?" and wait for input.

Check if UserAge = 10 using an IF THEN ELSE block to display a response.

Item 2: Daily Life Selection Flowchart (Going to the Shop)

Check the condition: Is it raining?

Getting ready and start walking to the shop

Branch to Take Umbrella if True, or continue directly if False

Finish shopping and return home

Section F: True or False

Instructions: State whether each statement is True or False. If False, write a complete one-sentence correction explaining why.

1. An IF THEN ELSE statement provides two separate execution paths depending on whether a condition is True or False.

True False

2. In a basic IF statement without an ELSE part, if the condition is False, the program skips the THEN instructions and continues the sequence.

True False

3. The 'equal to' operator checks if two values are different from each other.

True False

4. A linear algorithm without selection can easily adjust when a student chooses to shower at night instead of in the morning.

True False
