Why is decomposing a problem important in algorithmic problem-solving?
- It makes the problem more complex
- It allows for better understanding and management of the problem
- It is only applicable to small problems
- It is an unnecessary step in problem-solving

Which type of subprogram always returns a value?
- Procedure
- Function
- Variable
- Constant
What is the benefit of breaking down a complex problem into smaller sub-problems during the decomposition process?
- It makes the problem more complicated
- It allows easier identification of irrelevant details
- It facilitates parallel processing and collaboration
- It increases the overall complexity of the problem
Which of the following is an example of abstraction in everyday life?
- Summarising the plot of a book
- Memorising every word in a song
- Examining an object under a microscope to see every detail
