Let’s invent an imaginary taxonomic group of insect. This group (Order) is very diverse (i.e., has many described species).  Of the following traits, I want you to choose 4 that are most often associated with insect Orders with high diversity. [choose the 4 best answers; correct answer +1, incorrect answer -1]

Insect names can be confusing. Not all insects are bugs and not all “flies” are flies.  Obviously the bugs refer to .  But which of the following insects in this dropdown is a True Fly (you know, the Order ) (hint: how the name is written is really important).

(16 pts.) This ether can be made via one of two combinations of starting materials. Identify the nucleophile and electrophile needed to accomplish this reaction for each path. Each side should feature an alkyl halide and a sodium alkoxide anion (negatively charged O).                          

What would be the output of the following code? If there is an error, write “ERROR” def magic(values):   if values == []:         return 0    elif values[0] % 2 == 0:         return 1 + magic(values[1:])     else:        return magic(values[1:]) print(magic([4, 7, 2, 9, 12]))

The following code is meant to calculate the sum of all numbers in a list using recursion, but it contains errors. Identify the line numbers that would raise exceptions when executed.   1. def recursive_sum(nums):2.     if len(nums) == 1:3.         return None4.     else:5.         return nums[0] + recursive_sum(nums[1])6. 7. data = [5, 10, 15, 20]8. result = recursive_sum(data)9. print(“Sum:”, result)
