A written-response prompt from "Why Every Student Should Learn to Code": Give two reasons the author offers for teaching coding to all students. Sample answer in the key: Coding teaches problem-solving habits, helps people understand the computers that are everywhere in daily life, and opens doors to many future jobs.

A 2-page answer key lists the correct letter and answer text for each multiple-choice item, a sample response for each written item, and the skill tag of every question.
