Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
else x > 5:
print('no') → Error: else has no condition
Q2
else:
print('no')
elif x > 2:
print('mid') → Error: elif can't come after else
Q3
if x > 0:
print('pos')
else:
print('neg') → Valid: else as fallback
Q4
else:
print('other') → Ok: else with colon only
Q5
x = 2
if x > 5:
print('big')
else:
print('small') → Output: small
Q6
x = 8
if x > 5:
print('big')
else:
print('small') → Output: big
