Suppose you are writing a program that requires you take different paths depending on the response to a prompt. The prompt has more than two acceptable responses. Which of the following structures would be most appropriate? (1 point) Responses if…then if…then if…then…else if…then…else for loop for loop While loop

The most appropriate structure for taking different paths based on a prompt with more than two acceptable responses would be the if…then…else if…then…else structure. This allows you to handle multiple conditions in a clear and organized manner.

Here’s a brief overview of why the other options are less suitable:

  • for loop: Typically used for iterating a specific number of times, not for handling conditional responses.
  • while loop: Used for repeated execution based on a condition, but not suitable for handling multiple distinct responses.

In summary, the if…then…else if…then…else structure is the best choice for managing multiple branching paths based on user responses.
