A name error occurs if two equals signs are used instead of one. A name error occurs if two equals signs are used instead of one.

Answer 1

The true statement among the options provided is: **A name error occurs if the variable is referenced before it is declared.**

Here's a brief explanation for the other statements:

- A name error does not occur if a colon is put in the wrong place. This typically results in a syntax error.
- An else statement requires a corresponding if statement; thus, using an else without an if would also result in a syntax error, not a name error.
- Using two equals signs (`==`) instead of one (`=`) is a mistake in the context of assignment versus comparison, resulting in a logical error or potentially a syntax error, but not a name error.

So, the first statement regarding name errors is the only correct one in this context.
