Imagine you're tasked with developing a software solution for a library to manage book loans. What is this task primarily about?

• Learning to use a computer

• Analyzing problems and figuring out solutions

• Playing computer games

• Writing computer programs

Imagine you are organizing a large international conference. What does the 'Decomposition' component of computational thinking involve in this context?

• Breaking down the complex task of organizing the conference into smaller, more manageable tasks such as venue selection, speaker coordination, and attendee registration

• Identifying the general principles that generate the patterns of conference organization

• Designing step-by-step instructions to solve specific issues like venue booking or schedule planning

• Removing unnecessary details from the conference planning process

Consider you are organizing your bookshelf. What does 'Abstraction' mean in this context?

• Sorting books into different genres and authors

• Ignoring the color and size of the books to focus on categorization

• Noticing which genres you have the most books of

• Deciding on a specific order to arrange the books

What does 'Pattern recognition' refer to in computational thinking when analyzing weather data?

• Breaking down the weather data into smaller, more manageable parts

• Removing unimportant details from the weather data to focus on significant patterns

• Looking for similarities among and within weather patterns over time

• Developing step-by-step solutions for predicting future weather conditions

What are 'Algorithms' in the context of computational thinking when developing a recipe for a cake?

• Sets of rules to follow in calculations or other problem-solving operations, such as measuring ingredients or baking times

• Patterns that help in understanding the problem better, like recognizing when the cake is fully baked based on its texture

• Unnecessary details that need to be removed from the problem, such as the color of the mixing bowl

• Smaller parts of a complex problem, like mixing ingredients separately before combining them

Imagine you're organizing a large family reunion and you decide to break down the tasks into smaller, more manageable tasks like sending invitations, planning the menu, and organizing games. What is this process called in computer science?

• Aggregation

• Decomposition

• Fragmentation

• Simplification

Imagine you're a photographer focusing on landscape photography. In this context, what does abstraction involve?

• Adding more details to the photographs to make understanding the scene easier

• Focusing only on relevant details in the scene and ignoring irrelevant information

• Making the photographs as complex as possible

• Using physical objects in the photographs to represent broader concepts

Why do software engineers look for patterns in code when optimizing an application?

• To make the application more complex

• To improve the application's performance or efficiency

• To change the fundamental purpose of the application

• To introduce new issues into the application

Imagine you're baking a cake. What would represent an algorithm in this scenario?

• A) The complex chemistry between ingredients

• B) A step-by-step recipe that is simple, easy to follow, and precise

• C) A mathematical calculation of the cake's volume

• D) The brand of oven used for baking

When developing a new software application, which two processes are essential for breaking down the project's requirements before starting the coding phase?

• A) Analysis and synthesis

• B) Abstraction and decomposition

• C) Evaluation and implementation

• D) Compilation and execution
