Which option would print the longest string in the non-empty list words?

QUESTION 1 Consider a non-pty Python list variable called words which contains strings. Below is incomplete code which is intended to print the longest string in the list words. The code is supposed to work by scanning across the list, using the variable best to keep track of the longest word seen so far. Two ways to do this are: 1 points (1) remember the word using the variable best;or (2) remember the word's position in the list using the variable best. Each box contains a number of labelled lines of code which would be used for the implementations above. They are not in any particular order YOUR TASK is to first make a choice about which implementation you will use (it does not matter which). Then determine which combination of lines of code will cause the code to print the longest string in the list words bestEither for index in range (len (words)) or: (b) words [0] Either: (a) (b) len (words [best]) len (best) if len (words [index]) > or: best-Either: (a) words [index] (b) index or: print(Either: (a) words [best] (b) best or:

Explanation / Answer

best = words[0] for index in range(len(words)): if len(words[index]) > len(best): best = words[index] print(best) Given best the first word in list words Comparing length of word in words with the length of best If it is greater, then updating best to that word Printing word
