b)
Sequential and selection
c)
Selection only
d)
Iteration and sequential

Andres loves video games and wants a career as a game designer. He does not know where to begin. He asks advice from an uncle who works in the game industry. His uncle recommends a series of steps to evaluate each possible path (formal education, internships, self-study) and then decide which is the best fit. Andres follows his uncle's evaluation steps (price, time, effectiveness, etc). Upon completion, Andres feels comfortable deciding what the best path for him to realize his dream. What did Andres' uncle recommend to solve the problem?
a)
He used an algorithm to help Andres find a solution.
b)
He recommended brainstorming as effective problem solving.
c)
He advised Andres to use available hardware and software.
d)
He suggested a flowchart to assist in decision making.

Chris has created the following pseudocode to model the program flow for a virtual multiplayer board game.
1. Begin player turn.
2. Spin 6 number randomizer.
3. Move player token the number of spaces on the path shown on the randomizer.
4. If the player token lands on "return to beginning" then move player token to beginning.
5. Else if the player token lands on "sping again" then begin player's turn again.
6. Else Display message on path.
7. End player's turn.
What line of pseudocode should be added if the path included a space for "lose a turn"?
1. Begin player turn.
2. Spin 6 number randomizer.
3. Move player token the number of spaces on the path shown on the randomizer.
4. If the player token lands on "return to beginning" then move player token to beginning.
5. Else if the player token lands on "sping again" then begin player's turn again.
6. Else Display message on path.
7. End player's turn.
What line of pseudocode should be added if the path included a space for "lose a turn"?
a)
6.5: Else If the player token lands on "lose a turn"then player skips next turn
b)
8: If the player token lands on "lose a turn"then player skips next turn
