answer:To escape a string surrounded by single quotes, we can use a loop that iterates through each character in the given string and checks if it is a backslash ('') character. If it is, we append a backslash ('') to the new string, followed by another backslash (''). Otherwise, we simply append the current character to the new string. The resulting string will be escaped with double backslashes ('') as necessary. ```python def escape_single_quotes(string): new_string = for char in string: if char == : new_string += else: new_string += char return new_string ```

answer:To find the average score, we first need to calculate the total score for each student by multiplying the number of correct answers by 2 points per correct answer. Student A: 37 correct * 2 = 74 points Student B: 29 correct * 2 = 58 points Student C: 41 correct * 2 = 82 points Student D: 38 correct * 2 = 76 points Student E: 23 correct * 2 = 46 points Then, we add up the total scores of all the students and divide by the number of students. Total score: 74 + 58 + 82 + 76 + 46 = 336 Number of students: 5 Average score: 336 / 5 = 67.2 The average score on the test for the five students is 67.2.

answer:To find the individual scores closest to the average, we compare the scores of each student to the average score of 67.2. Student A's score (74) is 6.8 points above the average. Student B's score (58) is 9.2 points below the average. Student C's score (82) is 14.8 points above the average. Student D's score (76) is 8.8 points above the average. Student E's score (46) is 21.2 points below the average. The scores closest to the average are those of Student A (74) and Student D (76), but Student A's is slightly closer by 2 points to Student D's.
