Q3
B — Imports only the sqrt function
Q4
A — To organize and reuse code
Q5
A — In the same folder (or Python's path)
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
import my module → Error: Module names can't have spaces
Q2
from helpers import
greet() → Error: Must name what to import
Q3
import helpers
helpers.greet() → Valid: Use module prefix
Q4
from helpers import greet
greet() → Ok: Import specific function
Q5
# In helpers.py:
def greet():
print('Hi') → Output: (defines greet in module)
Q6
# In main.py:
import helpers
helpers.greet() → Output: Hi

Q1
B — Don't include .py: just the module name
Q2
A — Module names are case-sensitive. File is helpers.py, so use helpers.
Q3
B — With 'from import', use greet() directly: no module prefix
Q4
B — With 'import helpers', must use helpers.greet() not just greet()
Q5
B — import * is not recommended: import specific functions for clarity
