• Numbers 1 & 3
• Numbers 2 & 3
• Numbers 1, 2, & 3

2. Which of the following best describes the purpose of a design specification?

• A. Tracking errors that arise through user testing
• B. Documenting comments that will need to be added to a program
• C. Describing the requirements for how a program will work or users will interact with it
• D. Listing detailed questions that will be asked of users during interviews

3. What will the “background-color” of the “topButton” be when the program is finished running?

• A. red
• B. orange
• C. blue
• D. green

4. If the user does NOT click the button what color will “topButton” be when this program finishes running?

• A. Red
• B. Blue
• C. Green

5. The following program is run. Then the user clicks the "topButton" button ONCE. What will be displayed in the console?

• A. cat bird dog
• B. dog cat bird
• C. cat dog bird
• D. bird cat dog

6. The following program is run. Then the user clicks the “bottomButton” ONCE and then clicks the “topButton” ONCE. What will be displayed in the console?

• A. cow pig chicken
• B. cow chicken pig
• C. pig cow chicken
• D. chicken pig cow

7. The following program is run. Then the user clicks the “bottomButton” TWO TIMES. What will be displayed in the console?

• B. Line 2
• C. Line 3

9. Which of the following BEST describes the differences between sequential and event-driven programming?

• A. In sequential programming commands run one at a time. In event-driven programming all commands run at the same time.
• B. In sequential programming commands run faster than in event-driven programming.
• C. In sequential programming each command is run many times in sequence. In event-driven programming all commands are run a single time as an event.
• D. In sequential programming commands run in the order they are written. In event-driven programming some commands run in response to user interactions or other events.

10. Which of the following is NOT a reason to include comments in programs?

• A. Comments help the computer decide whether certain components of a program are important.
• B. Comments help programmers debug issues in their own code
• C. Comments help document how code was written for other programmers to use
