• A set of unrelated instructions

• A single command to execute a task

What is the primary goal of problem-solving techniques in computational thinking?

• To make problems more complex

• To find the most efficient solution

• To avoid solving problems

• To create more problems

Which of the following is an example of logical reasoning?

• Guessing the answer to a question

• Using a flowchart to map out a process

• Making decisions based on emotions

• Ignoring evidence to support a claim

Pattern recognition is crucial in computational thinking. Which of the following is an example of pattern recognition?

• Identifying the sequence in a series of numbers

• Randomly selecting numbers

• Ignoring similarities in data

• Changing patterns frequently

What is abstraction in computational thinking?

• Focusing on the details of a problem

• Ignoring the problem entirely

• Simplifying a problem by removing unnecessary details

• Making a problem more complex

Which of the following is a characteristic of a well-designed algorithm?

• It is ambiguous

• It is efficient and clear

• It is overly complex

• It is incomplete

In problem-solving, what is the purpose of breaking down a problem into smaller parts?

• To make the problem more difficult

• To solve each part individually and combine the solutions

• To ignore the smaller parts

• To increase the complexity of the problem

Which of the following is an example of using logical reasoning in everyday life?

• Deciding what to wear based on the weather forecast

• Choosing a meal based on a random selection

• Ignoring traffic rules while driving

How does pattern recognition help in solving problems?

• By making problems more complex

• By identifying similarities and regularities in data

• By ignoring patterns

• By creating random patterns

Which of the following best describes the process of abstraction?

• Adding more details to a problem

• Removing unnecessary details to focus on the main problem

• Ignoring the main problem

• Complicating the problem further
