9.  What is the advantage of using flowcharts?

                         a. They are time-consuming.

                         b. They are difficult to understand.

                         c. They make it easy to identify errors.
                         d. They are not effective for problem-solving.

                  B.  Fill in the blanks using the words given below:


                                               Control structure, Diamond, Sequential, True, Start


                      1.  .............................. shape is used to represent decision making in case of branching or looping
                         in a flowchart.
                      2.  If the condition is .............................., a certain block of instructions is executed.

                      3.  .............................. is the simplest form of control structure, where instructions are executed
                         in an order, one after the other.
                      4.  .............................. is defined as an order of execution of a statement in an algorithm.
                      5.  Algorithm begins with a keyword ...............................


                  C.  Match the following:

                       1.  Parallelogram                  i. Decision
                       2.  Selection                     ii.  Input

                       3.  Repetition                   iii.  If
                       4.  Diamond                      iv. Flowcharts
                       5.  Graphical representation      v. Looping


                  D.  Write ‘T’ for true and ‘F’ for false.
                      1.  Visuals have more impact on the human brain as compared to text.                  ....................

                      2.  Flowcharts are effective in analysing and solving problems but are not used
                         in preparing documentation of software.                                            ....................
                      3.  Algorithms are difficult to find errors in, whereas flowcharts make it easy to
                         identify errors.                                                                   ....................

                      4.  Both algorithms and flowcharts can represent branching and looping, but
                         flowcharts do so more easily through symbols.                                      ....................
                      5.  Algorithms are preferred over flowcharts for solving a problem.                   ....................
                      6.  Every flowchart can have only one start and stop.                                 ....................

                      7.  Rectangle is used for input and output of data in a flowchart.                    ....................

                      8.  There can be only one algorithm for a given problem.                              ....................
