Solution

In the worst case, the number of comparisons needed to search a singly linked list of length n for a given element is n.

This is because in the worst case, the element you are searching for could be at the end of the list, or not in the list at all. In a singly linked list, you can only traverse the list in one direction, from the start to the end. Therefore, you would need to compare each element in the list with the element you are searching for, resulting in n comparisons in the worst case.
