Provide brief answers to the following 10 questions. Avoid copying definitions and explanations from the text. Paraphrase and develop original (though brief is okay),
answers and examples where possible. I am looking for your explanation of these ideas, not language found in the text or online. Do not retype the questions. Just
number responses 1-10 and provide the answer. Please single space within numbered responses and double space between numbered responses (as seen below). You are free
to use your text but you are expected to work alone on the assignment.
