1. The age check below is meant to reject bad input. Which statement about it is correct? ``

python
def read_age():
    while True:
        text = input("Age: ")
        age = int(text)
        if text == "" or not text.isdecimal():
            print("Error: type a whole number.")
            continue
        if age > 120:
            print("Error: age must be 120 or less.")
            continue
        return age

``

The loop is wrong, because while True never endsThe conversion int(text) runs before the kind check, so typing abc crashes with ValueError instead of showing the messageThe range check should use >= 120, because 120 itself is not allowedcontinue should be break, so the loop ends after an error

2. Which statement about this age function is correct? ``

python
def read_age():
    text = input("Age: ")
    if text == "" or not text.isdecimal():
        print("Error: type a whole number.")
    return int(text)

``

The check is right, and the function is finishedisdecimal should be isdigit, because isdecimal rejects 0The check uses if instead of a loop, so it runs once: a bad answer prints an error and then reaches int(text), which crashesint(text) should be float(text) so decimals are accepted

3. Why must the range check (is the age 0 to 120?) come after the conversion to a whole number?

A range check compares numbers with numbers, so the text must be turned into a number firstPython compares text faster than numbers, so the check is quicker firstThe conversion removes the error message, so it has to run before anything elseThe empty check has to run before the range check, so the conversion is not needed

4. In the Python age check, which keyword does the pseudocode step NEXT PASS OF THE LOOP become?

breakreturnpasscontinue

5. Type the name of the Python string method that returns True only when every character is a decimal digit. Leave out the brackets.
