Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Explanation: This scenario describes a simple decision-making process, where the person decides whether to watch TV or read the newspaper based on the availability of an interesting program and a crossword puzzle.

The steps in the process can be numbered as follows:

  1. Pick up and read the newspaper
  2. Look at what is on television
  3. If there is a program that you are interested in watching then switch the television on and watch the program
  4. Otherwise, continue reading the newspaper
  5. If there is a crossword in the newspaper then try and complete the crossword

The starting point is step 1, which is always executed. Then, depending on the situation, either step 3 or 4 is executed, but not both. Finally, step 5 is executed if there is a crossword puzzle in the newspaper.

Therefore, the structure chart for this scenario can be represented as follows:

            +-----------+
            | Start     |
            +-----------+
                   |
                   |
            +-----------+
            | Read news |
            +-----------+
                   |
                   |
            +-----------+
            | Look TV   |
            +-----------+
              /          \
             /            \
    +-----------+   +----------------+
    | Watch     |   | Continue       |
    | program   |   | reading        |
    +-----------+   | newspaper      |
                    +----------------+
                             |
                             |
                    +----------------+
                    | Try crossword  |
                    +----------------+

As seen from the structure chart, there are two selection criteria (SC) and three decision criteria (DC).

The selection criteria are:

  • SC1: Is there an interesting program on TV?
  • SC2: If there is no interesting program on TV, continue reading the newspaper.

The decision criteria are:

  • DC1: Watch the program.
  • DC2: Continue reading the newspaper.
  • DC3: Try to complete the crossword.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) SC = 2 and DC = 3.
