If a data set has one mode, will the mode be one of the scores in the set?

"Mode = the most frequently observed data value. As a set of data can have more than one mode, the mode does not necessarily indicate the centre of a data set. ... In fact, if the distribution is symmetrical and unimodal, then the mean, the median and the mode may have the same value."
Yes. By definition, the mode is the number that occurs most frequently in the set. Therefore it has to be in the set.
An thank you would be nice
