Section E: Spot the Error

B — A vacuum robot is a domestic robot that cleans floors. Mowing lawns is a job for a lawn-mowing robot. The line should be ' vacuum robot cleans floor'.

A — The condition does not match the lawn robot's job. A lawn-mowing robot should act when the grass is too long, so line 1 should be 'IF grass is too long THEN'.

D — Domestic robots save people both time and effort. The last line should be 'effort_saved = True'.

A — The list is missing its closing square bracket. Line 1 should be "robots = ['vacuum', 'mower']".

B — Welding car doors is a factory task. A domestic robot helping an elderly person at home would do a household job such as fetching medicine, so line 2 should be ' robot fetches the medicine'.
