Quick Questions
Shade in the A or B circle for each question.
1. Which flowchart shape represents a yes/no decision?
2. Which shape is used for both the start and end of a flowchart?
3. When should you draw a flowchart?
4. What do arrows in a flowchart show?
5. A rectangle in a flowchart represents a yes/no decision.
B
Match the Pairs
Draw a line connecting each item on the left to its match on the right.
| Left column | Right column | |
|---|---|---|
| 1Diamond shape | Aif answer == "4": print("Correct!") else: print("Wrong!") | |
| 2Oval shape | B# Rectangle: display a message print("Hello!") | |
| 3A rectangle in a flowchart represents a process step or action | CWrong — start and end are shown with an oval, not a rectangle | |

B
# A rectangle has two exits: yes and no
C
# An oval has one path: start or end
Question 5

Answer Key
Flowcharts
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
A — Diamond
Q2
A — Oval
Q3
A — Before writing any code
Q4
B — The direction of program flow
Q5
B — False
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
Diamond shape → Represents a yes/no decision point in a flowchart
Q2
Oval shape → Marks the start or end of a flowchart program
Q3
A rectangle in a flowchart represents a process step or action → # Rectangle: display a message
print("Hello!")
Q4
A diamond maps to an if/else decision in code → if answer == "4":
print("Correct!")
else:
print("Wrong!")
Q5
# Rectangle = start or end of program → Wrong — start and end are shown with an oval, not a rectangle
Q6
# Flowcharts are drawn after coding is done → Wrong — flowcharts are planning tools drawn before writing any code
Section C: Definitions
Q1
flowchart — A visual diagram that maps a program's logic before coding, using ovals for start/end, rectangles for steps, and diamonds for yes/no decisionsSection D: Fill in the Blanks

Q1
A — The oval shape represents start or end, not a process step. A rectangle is a process step and a diamond is a decision. Line 0 is wrong.
Q2
A — Flowcharts are drawn before coding, not after. They are a planning tool to map out logic before writing any code. Line 0 is wrong.
Q3
B — The rectangle shape represents a process step or action, not start or end. The oval is used for start and end. Line 1 is wrong.
Q4
B — A rectangle is a process step with one entry and one exit — it does not branch. Only a diamond has yes/no exits. Line 1 is wrong.
Q5
A — Arrows are not optional in a flowchart — they are essential for showing the direction of program flow. Line 0 is wrong.
