Formatting instructions:
You DO NOT need to number your responses, simply answer the questions in the order presented. Each response should contain a rephrasing of the original question in your own words. Write in complete, thoughtful, comprehensive sentences.
A complete sentence has three characteristics:
First, it begins with a capital letter.
In addition, it includes an end mark—either a period [. ], question mark [ ? ], or exclamation point [ ! ].
Most importantly, the complete sentence must contain at least one main clause. Each main clause contains an independent subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.
Please no one-word answers or sentence fragments!
Line Spacing: All text in your assignment should be single-spaced within each response. Double-spaced between each response. In other words, I should see white space between each response to display when one idea begins and another one ends.
Minimum: 400 words
