Selected Answer: B
Unknown is the answer. JOBCODE is chem2 (lowercase). In the IF statement: if jobcode = 'Chem2' then description = 'Senior Chemist';, C is in capital case. Since the condition does not meet, the ELSE statement would be executed.

why are so many code have typos and incorrect syntax. So frustrating and confusing to go through practices this way.
