Answer Key

say() function

Section A: Quick Questions

A — Two — text and a voice number

B — say("Hello!", 1)

A — Which voice speaks the text

A — False

B — Yes — use a different number for each speaker

Section B: Match the Pairs

say("Hello!", 1) → Speaks the text Hello! aloud using voice number 1

say("Hi!", 1) say("Hey!", 2) → A two-speaker conversation using different voice numbers

The second argument in say() selects the voice → say("Welcome!", 2)

say() produces spoken audio; print() shows text in the console → say("I am spoken", 1) print("I am visible")

say("Goodbye!") → Wrong — say() requires two arguments: the text and a voice number

Say("Hello!", 1) → Wrong — say() must be all lowercase; Say() with a capital S is not recognised

Section C: Definitions

say() — A custom function that speaks text aloud using text-to-speech; the first argument is the text to speak and the second argument is the voice number

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

say("Hello there!", 1)

say("Good morning!", 1)

say("Hello!", 1)
say("Hi back!", 2)

say("How are you?", 2)

say("Goodbye!", 1)
# This uses say for audio output

Section E: Spot the Error

C — The closing quote is missing from the string. It should be say("See you later!", 1) with a closing quote and a voice number. Line 2 is wrong.

D — say() must be called with parentheses. say "Hi again!", 1 is missing the brackets around the arguments. Line 3 is wrong.

C — say() requires two arguments: the text and a voice number. The voice number is missing on line 2. Line 2 is wrong.

C — The string argument must be wrapped in quote marks. Good evening! has no quotes around it. Line 2 is wrong.

A — say() must be all lowercase — Say() with a capital S is not recognised as the function. Line 0 is wrong.
