Describe a possible sequence of moves and actions Karel could take to go from the starting world to the ending world in the last image.

Fill in the Blank

Karel starts at the bottom left corner. After completing the program, Karel is surrounded by ___ beepers.

Multiple Select

Which of the following are rules for writing Karel commands?

Fill in the Blank

Fill in the blank: Every Karel command ends in ___

Multiple Choice

How can Karel simulate turning right if the turn_right() command is not available?

• By turning left three times

• By moving forward and turning left

• By turning left once

• By turning around

Multiple Choice

Why can't Karel use the command turn_right()?

• Because Karel's programming does not include turn_right()

• Because turn_right() is a dangerous command

• Because Karel can only move forward

• Because Karel can only turn left

Open Ended
