  True

 2. Which of the following is an example of a program?

  A mouse

  A whole computer

  A video game

 3. Programs, which are a series of instructions, generally contain three main constructs. They are:

  Computers, Mice and Keyboards

  Prints, Mints and Sints

  Sequence,Selection and Repetition (Loops)

 4. Which of the following is an example of SEQUENCE?

  A program that has a single IF statement it to control the flow of the program

  A program that can close itself

  A program that has no steps or instructions in it at all

  A program that has ten steps (instructions) that are in order

 5. Which of the following is an example of the use of SELECTION in a program?

  The use of PRINT commands in programs

  The use of IF ELSEstatements in a program

 6. Which of the following is an example of the use of REPETITION in a program?

  The use of PRINT commands in programs

  The use of IF ELSEstatements in a program

  The use of ordered steps in a program

 7. In school, students need to enter their username and password correctly to log in. How is selection used here?

  IF the username and password are correct, the user is given access, ELSE, no access

  The user is repeatedly shown a login screen until it crashes

  The user is given an ordered instruction to follow and must do so

  The user follows a single step instruction to enter some information
