Section B: Match the Pairs

OUTPUT Score → Displays the current value stored in the variable Score on the screen

OUTPUT "You have ", Lives, " lives left" → Displays text and a variable value together, with the values separated by commas

Text must be written inside double quotes so it is displayed exactly as written → OUTPUT "Game over"

An expression can be output and the result of the calculation is displayed → OUTPUT Score * 2

OUTPUT "Score" → The variable name is inside double quotes, so the word Score is displayed instead of the value stored in the variable. Remove the quotes to output the value.

OUTPUT "You have " Lives " lives left" → The commas are missing between the values. Each text and variable must be separated by commas.

Section E: Spot the Error

D — Several values in an OUTPUT statement must be separated by commas. The comma is missing between the text and Score. It should be OUTPUT "Score: ", Score.

A — Text to display must be written in double quotes. Without quotes, pseudocode treats the words as variable names. It should be OUTPUT "Enter your name".

C — A variable must not be in double quotes, or the word Lives is displayed instead of its value. It should be OUTPUT "You have ", Lives.

D — Values in an OUTPUT statement are separated by commas, not semicolons. It should be OUTPUT "Total: ", Total.

B — An expression must not be in quotes, or the characters Side * Side are displayed as text. Without quotes OUTPUT works out the value. It should be OUTPUT "Area: ", Side * Side.
