complex programming logic. It serves as the ultimate diagnostic
tool to quickly pinpoint your knowledge gaps across variables,
loops, collections, and exception handling before test day
Module 1: Python Basics, Variables, and Data
Types (Questions 1–10)
Question 1
Which of the following is a valid variable name in
Python?
A) 2_total_sum
B) total-sum
C) _total_sum
D) total sum
Answer: C) _total_sum
Rationale: Variable names in Python must begin
with a letter or an underscore (_). They cannot
start with numbers (violating A), contain
,hyphens (violating B), or contain spaces
(violating D).
Question 2
What is the precise data type of the variable x after
executing x = ?
A) int
B) float
C) str
D) bool
Answer: B) float
Rationale: In Python 3, the standard division
operator (/) always returns a floating-point
number, even if the result is a whole number. To
get an integer result via floor division, the //
operator must be used instead.
Question 3
What is the output of the following code snippet?
python
print(bool("False"))
Use code with caution.
A) False
B) True
,C) None
D) Error
Answer: B) True
Rationale: The bool() function returns True for
any non-empty string. Even though the text
inside the string reads "False", it is still a non-
empty sequence, evaluating to True.
Question 4
Which operator is used to calculate the remainder of
a division operation?
A) /
B) //
C) %
D) **
Answer: C) %
Rationale: The modulo operator (%) returns the
remainder of a division. The / operator handles
standard float division, // handles floor division,
and ** is used for exponentiation.
Question 5
What is the outcome of evaluating the expression 3 *
1 ** 3?
A) 27
B) 9
, =C) 3
D) 1
Answer: C) 3
Rationale: Python follows a strict operator
precedence. Exponentiation () has higher
precedence than multiplication (). Therefore, 1 ** 3 is
evaluated first (which equals 1), and then 3 * 1 is
evaluated, resulting in 3.***
Question 6
Given s = "WGU Assessment", what does s[4:10]
evaluate to?
A) Asses
B) Assess
C) WGU A
D) Assesm
Answer: B) Assess
Rationale: String slicing in Python is inclusive of
the start index and exclusive of the stop index.
Index 4 points to 'A', and slicing extracts
characters up to but not including index 10 ('m'),
yielding "Assess".
Question 7
What is the result of casting an explicit float to an
integer using int(9.99)?
