• It depends on the type of problem.

• No, a problem can only have one solution.

• Yes, but only in specific cases.

• Yes, a problem can have more than one solution.

What is the first step in solving a problem?

• Define the problem

• Gather resources

• Implement a solution

• Analyze the data

How do characters typically react to problems?

• Characters never seek help from others.

• Characters always ignore problems completely.

• Characters react to problems in various ways, including seeking help, confronting the issue, or avoiding it.
