The first questions shows the benefits of assembling a diverse team, are that collaboration that includes diverse backgrounds and perspectives can eliminate the need for software testing.

The second question was how to Facilitate collaboration between group members. The best option was Having all three students write code independently and then having one student combine the code into a program.

The third question was about User participation in software development. While the benefit of having multiple users participate are that Users can provide feedback that can be used to incorporate a variety of perspectives into the software.

Identifying and correcting errors

The first question reviewed errors in if/else statement. The answer was to interchange lines 3 and 7 because you had to set the score as a variable before you use it, cause then nothing would happen.

The second question asked which of the following did not return the intended result while testing cases for a list. I didn’t really know how to answer this one, so I just looked at the pattern that all of them had, and that [ -1,0,1 ], was out of the ordinary, because it was the only list with both positive and negative values.

The third question shows an if statement inside of an if statement. It was asking if all three grades were being represented equally, and in the if statement, there was nothing about getting a grade below 7, like 6, or getting 8. As a result, I decided to click on those options.
