Answer 1

The error in the syntax of the provided code is: You cannot add a conditional statement after the else keyword.

The correct way to structure the code would be to use just else: without any condition. The else statement automatically handles the case where the if condition is not met. Here’s the corrected version of the code:

def is_year(year):
    if year % 4 == 0:
        print('Year is divisible by 4')
    else:
        print('Year is not divisible by 4')
