Hi Class;

Below you’ll find 40 questions from Chapter 5. 

• Select one question to answer correctly BEFORE a classmate has already answered that one.  5 points to be the first to answer correctly in our regular format referencing where this information is covered in the PowerPoint presentation, narrated chapter review (with time stamp) and textbook pages.  Zero points if copied & pasted from the web. 
• If someone already answered you will get ZERO points for your post, so check thoroughly this time.
• Make sure to copy the question number and the actual question into your reply.
• Then, comment on at least one classmate’s initial answer by indicating why their response is correct, or why/how it should be modified (another 5 points).
• Initial post and reply are due by the established deadline.
• Total of 10 points possible.
