Most of the questions you answered are correct, but you did not answer numbers 5, 6, 8, and 14 at all. I encourage you to try and answer them to get more points for this assignment. Also, you only answered half of question number 7. If you decide to improve your grade for this assignment please post me another comment so I know to regrade this.
