Marked out of 1.00 QUIZ Suppose a list contains the following
elements: 27 37 7 What is the order of the elements in the list after
three passes when selection sort is used? a. 27 37 71 b. 73 77 37 c.
73 37 71 d. 73 47 71 Which of the following statements regarding
sorting algorithms is TRUE? a. Insertion sort is the most effi cient
sorting algorithm. b. Selection sort is more effi cient than bucket
sort. c. Heap sort is less suffi cient than bubblesort. d. Merge sort is
more effi cient that selection sort. Question 3 Complete Marked out

Complete Marked out of 1.00 Question 6 Complete Marked out of
1.00 Which one of the following statements is NOT true regarding
selection sort? a. The list to be sorted is divided into two sublists –
sorted and unsorted. b. A sort pass is defi ned as moving an element
from the unsorted sublist to the sorted sublist. c. If we have a list of
20 elements to be sorted, it will take 19 passes to get the list sorted.
d. Selection sort is faster than merge sort and bucket sort. Which of
the following statements is NOT TRUE regarding sub-algorithms?
a. A structured algorithm is broken down into sub-algorithms. b.
Sub-algorithms perform specifi c functions and are thus more
understandable. c. Sub-algorithms are written once in the program,
and can be executed multiple times. d. A sub-algorithm cannot
further be divided into more sub-algorithms. Which one of the
following options is NOT a sorting algorithm? a. Bubble sort b.
Selection sort c. Binary sort d. Insertion sort Compilation
__________. a. …is used in the fi rst approach to interpretation. b.
…translates and executes the source code one line at a time. c.
…translates the whole source program into the object module before
it is executed. d. …is a slow process in comparison to the fi rst
approach to interpretation. Question 7 Complete Marked out of 1.00

Which one of the following statements regarding programming
languages is TRUE? a. Prolog is a procedural programming
language. b. Ada is a functional programming language. c. Pascal is
a procedural programming language. d. LISP is an object-oriented
programming language. Which part of the translation process of a
program uses tokens to, for example, create an assignment statement
such as x =1? a. Lexical analyser b. Syntax analyser c. Semantic
analyser d. Code generator Which computer programming language
paradigm is known for using INHERITANCE? a. Declarative
paradigm b. Object-oriented paradigm c. Functional paradigm d.
Procedural paradigm Which one of the following statement is NOT
true for the declarative programming paradigm? a. The declarative
paradigm uses the principle of logical reasoning to answer queries.
b. The declarative paradigm is based on fi rst-order predicate logic.
c. Ada is an example of a programming language that uses the
declarative approach. d. In the declarative paradigm logic rules are
defi ned, from which the program then deduces facts.
Let's break down each question:
1. Selection Sort: The initial list is [27, 37, 7].
o First pass: [7, 37, 27]
o Second pass: [7, 27, 37]
o Third pass: [7, 27, 37] So, the answer is a. 27 37 71.
2. Sorting Algorithms: Correct statement among options:
o a. Insertion sort is not generally the most efficient.
