                     1.  Which of the following statements is NOT true for algorithms?

                        a.  Once we have an algorithm, we can translate it into a computer program in any
                          programming language.

                        b. There are no well-defined rules and standards for writing an algorithm.

                        c. It begins with a keyword “Stop”.
                        d. It is not case-sensitive.

                     2.  Which of the following symbols is used to show the flow of data in a process?

                     3.  Identify the symbol used to represent process in a flowchart.
                        a. Square                                      b. Rectangle

                     4.  Which of the following is a step-by-step representation of a solution to a given problem?
                        a. Program                                     b. Algorithm

                        c. Code                                        d. Process

                     5.  Which of the following is not a type of control structures?
                        a. Selection                                   b. Sequential

                     6.  Which of the following is a graphical representation of an algorithm?
                        a. Flowchart                                   b. Venn Diagrams

                        c. Tables                                      d. Charts

                     7.  Identify which of the following symbols is used to input data in a flowchart.
                        a. Oval                                        b. Parallelogram

                     8.  Which of the following is TRUE for flowcharts?
                        a. All symbols in the flowchart may/may not be connected.

                        b. Flow of control always goes from top to bottom.

                        c. You can use the different symbols to represent similar actions or elements.

                        d. So algorithms are preferred over flowcharts for solving a problem.
