This is the second time I am posting this question because it was answered incorrectly. I am down to my last questions I can submit for the month, so PLEASE only answer this question if you are 100% positive that you know the answer. I know its a tough question, but I really would like to understand so I do well on my exam in a couple of days. Thank you!
