Quick Questions

Shade in the A or B circle for each question.

1. Which line adds 1 to the score when the answer is right?

A if ask(q, a): score += 1

B if ask(q, a): score == 1

2. What should a quiz function like ask(q, a) return?

A return True or False

B return the whole quiz score

3. Where should score = 0 go in a quiz program?

A Before the loop starts

B Inside the loop

4. Which function checks an answer correctly?

A def ask(q, a): return input(q) = a

B def ask(q, a): return input(q) == a

5. Why does the quiz function use parameters q and a?

A So the function can only ask one question

B So the same function can ask any question

Match the Pairs

Draw a line connecting each item on the left to its match on the right.

Left column		Right column
1def ask(question, answer):		Ascore += 1 is not indented, so it is not inside the if block and Python raises an IndentationError.
2return reply == answer		BGives back True if the player's reply matches the answer, otherwise False
3Add 1 to the score each time the player gets a question right		Cscore = 0 is inside the loop, so the score resets to 0 on every question and the total is lost.
4Show the final score after the loop ends using an f-string		DDefines a function that takes a question and its correct answer as parameters
5if ask(q, a): score += 1		Eif ask(q, a): score += 1

Spot the Error

Shade in the letter of the line that contains an error.

Question 1

A def ask(q, a):

B guess = input(q + ' '

C return guess == a

D score = 0

Question 2

A def ask(q, a)

B guess = input(q)

C return guess == a

D score = 0

A quiz = [('2+2', '4')]

B score == 0

C for q, a in quiz:

D if ask(q, a):

E score += 1

Question 4

A score = 0

B for q, a in quiz:

C if ask[q, a]:

C return guess = a

D print(ask('2+2', '4'))

Answer Key

Quiz program using a function, a loop and a score

Section A: Quick Questions

A — if ask(q, a): score += 1

A — return True or False

A — Before the loop starts

B — def ask(q, a): return input(q) == a

B — So the same function can ask any question

Section B: Match the Pairs

def ask(question, answer): → Defines a function that takes a question and its correct answer as parameters

return reply == answer → Gives back True if the player's reply matches the answer, otherwise False

Add 1 to the score each time the player gets a question right → if ask(q, a): score += 1

Show the final score after the loop ends using an f-string → print(f"You scored {score}")

if ask(q, a): score += 1 → score += 1 is not indented, so it is not inside the if block and Python raises an IndentationError.

for q, a in questions: score = 0 if ask(q, a): score += 1 → score = 0 is inside the loop, so the score resets to 0 on every question and the total is lost.

Section C: Definitions

if ask(q, a): score += 1 — Calls a function that returns True for a right answer, then adds 1 to score when it does. Put this in a loop to ask every question and total the quiz score.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

def ask(question, answer):
    return input(question) == answer

def ask(q, a):
    return input(q) == a

for q, a in quiz:
    if ask(q, a):
        score += 1

score = 0
for q, a in quiz:
    if ask(q, a): score += 1

print(f"Score: {score}/{len(quiz)}")

Section E: Spot the Error

B — The input() call is missing its closing bracket. It should be input(q + ' ') so the question is shown and the student's answer is stored in guess.

A — A function definition must end with a colon. The first line should be def ask(q, a): so Python knows the indented lines are the function body.

B — A double equals sign compares values, it does not store one. The score must start with the assignment score = 0 so that score += 1 can work later.

C — A function is called with round brackets, not square brackets. It should be if ask(q, a): so the function runs and returns True or False.

C — A single = is assignment and cannot be used in a return. To compare the guess with the answer and return True or False, use ==: return guess == a.
