Answer Key
elif Statements
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
B — else if
Q2
A — When the if above is False and elif is True
Q3
A — Medium
Q4
B — Yes
Q5
A — No if must come first
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
else if x > 5:
print('mid') → Error: Use elif not 'else if'
Q2
elif x > 5
print('mid') → Error: Missing colon after elif
Q3
if x > 10:
print('big')
elif x > 5:
print('mid') → Valid: elif checks next condition
Q4
elif score == 100:
print('perfect') → Ok: elif with == comparison
Q5
x = 7
if x > 10:
print('big')
elif x > 5:
print('mid') → Output: mid
Q6
x = 15
if x > 10:
print('big')
elif x > 5:
print('mid') → Output: big
