Answer Key

#	Answer
1	A supporting detail is information that explains or proves an idea in more detail.
2	Code comments include supporting details to help explain what the code does and why it is written that way.
3	A. It uses five numbers and divides the total by five.
4	A. A loop repeats instructions without writing them again.
5	The supporting detail is that the input is stored in a variable called name.
6	A variable is useful because it can store information that a program may need to use later.
7	One supporting detail is that names like totalScore or userAge help a programmer understand the purpose of the variable.
8	A. It checks whether a condition is true.
9	A supporting detail could be that the function organizes code into a smaller, reusable part.
10	One supporting detail is that debugging helps find mistakes in code so the program can work correctly.
11	B. Comments can explain the purpose of a tricky line of code.
12	A supporting detail is that the program prints each number in order from 1 to 10.
13	One supporting detail is that an error message may show where the problem is in the code.
14	An example is strong because it shows how an idea works in a real code situation.
15	A. The user types information into the program.
16	A list is useful because it can store many related items in one place, such as names or scores.
17	Testing code is important because it helps find errors and shows whether the program works as expected.
18	A. It makes code easier to organize and read.
19	Using functions can make a program better because they reduce repeated code, which makes the program shorter and easier to update.
20	Supporting details are important because they explain how code works and why certain choices are made. They help learners understand ideas more clearly, spot mistakes, and write better programs.
