PCEP Control Flow, Loops, Lists and Logic Practice Question

Exhibit

x = 10
y = 5
if x > 5 and y < 10:
    result = 'A'
elif x == 10 or y == 5:
    result = 'B'
else:
    result = 'C'
print(result)

Refer to the exhibit. What is printed?

⚠ Common exam trap

Python Institute often tests the misconception that `break` only exits the current iteration or that the loop continues after the break, leading candidates to think multiple values are printed.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The code uses a `for` loop to iterate over the list `['A', 'B', 'C']`. The `break` statement inside the loop executes when the variable `letter` equals `'A'`, immediately terminating the loop. Therefore, only `'A'` is printed before the loop ends, making option B correct.
