Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
192.168.1.5 → An example of an IPv4 address, made of four numbers separated by dots
Q2
IP address → A unique number that identifies a device on a network
Q3
An IP address works like a postal address because it tells data where to be delivered → destination = 192.168.1.5
Q4
An IPv4 address has four numbers separated by dots → 192.168.1.5
Q5
Two devices on the same network both have the IP address 192.168.1.5 → Each device needs its own unique IP address. If two devices share one, data cannot tell which device it should go to.
Q6
192,168,1,5 → An IPv4 address uses dots between the four numbers, not commas.

IPv4 numbers are separated by dotsSection E: Spot the Error
Q1
B — The four numbers in an IPv4 address are separated by dots, not commas. It should be ip.split('.') so the address splits into 4 parts.
Q2
B — The string is missing its closing quote. It should be ip_address = '192.168.1.5' so the IP address is stored as text.
Q3
C — The comma between the arguments is missing. Data needs a destination IP address, so it should be send(packet, destination).
Q4
A — An IPv4 address has four numbers separated by dots. This one has only three. It should be ip = '192.168.1.5'.
Q5
D — A single = assigns a value, and it is not allowed inside print() like this. To check that an IPv4 address has 4 parts, use ==: print(count == 4).
