Answer:

The best answer to the question: This is an example of a ____ structure, would be: single-alternative selection structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

This has to do with computer programming and how computers are able to "decide" what action to take, or how to proceed, when a person uses them in making decisions and choices. In the single-alternative, a programmer structures an "if" statement to allow the computer to make a decision that will lead to a single answer if a condition pre-programmed into it is met. In this case, in particular, you have received a request from a friend from work to bake and bring more cookies to the staff meeting on Monday. By using the "if" statement, you have become "programmed" on Sunday to bake the cookies and have them ready for Monday. Essentially, the request from your friend programs you to bake the cookies on Sunday and have them ready for Monday.
