PART II. Applying Programming Concepts in Alice (Questions 18-30)

18. In the initial scene shown below, Alice is facing the tree, one meter from it. From Alice's point of view, she can see a yellow flower to the left side of the tree, and a red flower on the right side of the tree. Each flower is one meter away from the tree. What is the result of running the block of code?

____Alice is near the tree facing the red flower.
____Alice is near the tree facing the yellow flower
____Alice is near the tree and facing the tree
____Alice does not move, instead turning to the right .25 revolutions
