b)

A simplified transportation map like the London Tube map

c)

A novel with a complex plot

d)

A scientific research paper

3.

How does abstraction help in problem-solving?

a)

By making problems more difficult to understand

b)

By focusing on irrelevant details

c)

By simplifying large problems to make them easier to understand

Adding complexity to a problem

5.

In the context of computational thinking, what does abstraction allow developers to do?

a)

Focus on the least important parts of a problem

b)

Develop solutions without understanding the problem

c)

Concentrate on the important parts of a problem

d)

Ignore the problem entirely

6.

Why are transportation maps like the London Tube map considered a good example of abstraction?
