Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Sequencing is the order in which instructions are carried out in a program or algorithm.
2	The order is important because changing it can change the result or cause the task to fail.
3	Put bread in toaster, wait for toast to finish, remove toast, spread butter.
4	Type a web address into the browser address bar.
5	Following a recipe, brushing teeth, or getting dressed in order.
6	The program may not work correctly or may produce an error.
7	Open login page, click sign in, enter username, enter password, select submit.
8	An algorithm is a step-by-step set of instructions to solve a problem or complete a task.
9	Sequencing is one part of algorithms because algorithms depend on steps being carried out in the correct order.
10	Moving its arm to the book should happen first.
11	The result produced after the instructions are followed.
12	An incorrect sequence can cause the program to wait for something that never happens or create an error.
13	Open email app, enter recipient address, add subject line, write message, click send.
14	It means to find and fix problems in the order of instructions.
15	They help explain steps and make the program easier to understand and follow.
16	The file should be given a name and a save location should be chosen.
17	Open file, click print, select printer, check paper.
18	The final result may be incomplete, incorrect, or impossible to achieve.
19	Hardware actions must happen in the correct order to avoid malfunction or damage.
20	The file should be selected before the program tries to open it.
21	Choose item, add item to cart, enter shipping details, pay, confirm order.
22	Sequence follows steps in order once, while repetition repeats steps multiple times.
23	Sequence runs steps in order, while selection chooses between different paths based on a condition.
24	Type password, click show password, verify it.
25	Initialization prepares variables, settings, or devices before the main steps run.
26	The program needs the score or data first before it can calculate the grade.
27	Connect external drive, choose files, copy files, safely remove drive.
28	The save may fail and data could be lost.
29	The character would jump at the wrong time and the animation or action would look incorrect.
30	The program must first read the sensor, then decide what to do, and then perform the action.
31	Enter email, receive reset link, open link, create new password, sign in.
32	It helps plan the logic and reduces errors while coding.
33	The steps are in the wrong order because ingredients must be mixed before baking.
34	A flowchart shows the order of steps visually so the sequence is easier to understand.
35	Display a welcome message, ask for a name, greet the user.
36	The program must receive, process, and store data in the correct order for the result to be accurate.
37	It should detect darkness first, then turn on the lights if needed.
38	The system could try to verify a password before the user enters it, causing an error or failed login.
39	Ask for the first number, ask for the second number, add the numbers, display the sum.
40	Because programs depend on steps happening in the right order, and correct sequencing helps produce the intended result.
