Final answer:

It is false that any program can be written using only sequence structures because control structures are also necessary for creating complex and functional programs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that you can write any program using only sequence structures is false. This is because many programs require the use of control structures to make decisions (if-then-else statements), repeat operations (loops like for and while), and alter the flow of execution based on certain conditions. Without these control structures, only the most basic programs that perform a single, linear sequence of instructions could be written. For complex and useful software development, one needs to implement these additional structures for code branching and repetition.
