ThanksWhy do you want us to GIVE you these answers? Why don't you study and do the homework yourself?|||I sure did a sincere attempt as far as homework goes also with a mixed success. For example, when I tried this on my database , I found that Question 1) could be D, Question 3) could be E and so on. And however, I may not be the strongest in logical reasoning, and hence seeking suggestions because second opinions and suggestions are valuable as they are. Atleast I will have a chance to correct myself in the chance that I may be wrong in what I thought or found. It is possible.

Thanks
