Explanation & Answer

Hello buddy! Attached here is the file and I'll mark it as the final answer. I have typed the questions as well so that it'd be reflected together with the answers. I followed the format as shown in the picture. Also, I inserted the rubrics for number 8, which you can choose to remove if not needed. Thanks so much for choosing me as your tutor! 😍 Please have a look and if in case you need me to make some changes and editing, please do tell me. 😀
