Section E: Spot the Error

B — A single = assigns a value. To check the person's answer you need == so it reads: if ok == "yes":

B — You can't subtract text. Use + to join the words and the purpose so the person is told how their data will be used.

D — A person under 18 needs a parent or guardian to agree too. The program should say to ask a parent, not skip it.

A — The input( bracket is never closed. Add the closing ) at the end so the program can ask permission.

C — When someone says no, you must not collect their data. collect should be set to False.
