I. Fill in the Blanks

Word Bank: Indentation, Boolean, Selection, Precedence, ENDIF, Condition

1. The programming construct where an algorithm evaluates a rule to determine which path of execution to follow is called

2. A comparison rule evaluated by a system that yields only a binary True or False outcome is known as a

3. Shifting lines of code inward from the margin to visually group dependent logic lines is called

4. The pseudocode keyword explicitly marks the termination boundary of a conditional block.

5. The strict rules determining the priority order in which multiple Boolean operators are evaluated are called operator

II. Multiple Choice Questions

1. Which Boolean logical operator returns True only when both conditions being tested are satisfied?

B) NOT

C) AND

D) ELSEIF

2. According to standard Boolean operator precedence, which operator is evaluated first if no grouping brackets are present?

A) OR

B) AND

C) NOT

D) THEN

3. Which standard shape is used in a flowchart to represent a decision condition test?

A) Rectangle

B) Diamond

C) Parallelogram

D) Oval

4. What occurs in an IF... THEN statement if the evaluated condition is False and there is no ELSE branch?

A) The program displays a runtime error.

B) The enclosed action statements are skipped, and the program continues after ENDIF.

C) The algorithm halts execution completely.

D) The algorithm automatically prompts the user for a new input.

5. Given the statement IF NOT (score < 50) THEN, what will the condition evaluate to if score = 60?

A) True

B) False

C) Syntax Error

D) Null

6. Which structural keyword is used to test an additional, secondary condition when the initial IF test evaluates to False?

A) ELSE

B) THEN

C) ELSEIF

D) ENDIF

7. Consider the conditional test IF (temperature > 30 OR humidity > 80) THEN. If temperature = 25 and humidity = 85 what is the overall evaluation?

A) False

B) True

C) Undefined

D) Error

III. One-Word Answers

1. Name the logic system where values exist in only one of two states: True or False.

2. Which pseudocode keyword directly follows a condition test to introduce the statements executed when the condition is True?

3. Which punctuation symbols are used in pseudocode to force a specific evaluation order in compound conditions, overriding standard precedence?

4. In a flowchart, what visual elements connect the decision diamond to alternative action blocks?

Definitions Bank

A. Catches default outcomes when all preceding conditions evaluate to False.

B. Flowchart shape representing a choice based on a binary rule.

C. Inverts a logical value (True becomes False, and False becomes True).

D. Evaluates to True if at least one condition is satisfied (e.g., checking for weekend OR holiday).

E. Evaluates to True only when all conditions are satisfied simultaneously (e.g., valid username AND correct password).

V. Arrange in Proper Sequence

Order the following steps logically using 1 to 4.

1. Order of Boolean Operator Precedence (highest priority 1 to lowest priority 4):

Evaluate OR operators

Evaluate NOT operators

Evaluate expressions enclosed in brackets ()

Evaluate AND operators

2. Multi-Branch Selection Structure (arrange into correct structural order 1 to 4):

ELSE

ENDIF

IF mark >= 80 THEN

ELSEIF mark >= 50 THEN

VI. True or False

State whether the statement is True or False. If False, provide a 1-sentence correction.

1. Pseudocode requires strict, rigid syntax rules that must match specific commercial programming languages like Python or C++.

True False

2. An ELSE statement must be followed by a new explicit comparison test condition.

True False

3. Indentation in pseudocode is applied to make code readable and visually define which lines belong inside specific decision branches.

True False

4. In an ELSEIF structure, if the first IF condition evaluates to True, the computer will still check all remaining ELSEIF conditions below it.

True False

5. The Boolean evaluation (True AND False) results in a final output of True.

True False

6. Both flowcharts and text-based pseudocode are valid methods for representing selection logic in algorithm design.

True False
