Q1
D — A step counter's effect on one student's health is a personal impact, not a community impact. The line should be type <- "personal".
Q2
B — An app that shares where a user is affects their privacy, which is why the effect is negative. The line should be impact <- "privacy".
Q3
B — An IF statement must end with THEN so the program knows where the condition stops. The line should be IF hours > 6 THEN.
Q4
A — Time saved is found by subtracting numbers, but "thirty" is text and cannot be subtracted. It should be minutesBefore <- 30.
Q5
C — Text values need quote marks. Without them, positive is read as a variable that does not exist. It should be effect <- "positive".
