Answer 1

To accomplish the selection and conversion of letter grades into a 4.0 scale, the most appropriate programming construct to use would be the **if-then-else** statement. This construct allows you to evaluate the letter grade entered and determine the corresponding numerical value on the 4.0 scale based on the specific conditions defined for each letter grade.

So the correct answer is: **if-then-else**.
