Try doing this on your own. If you don't start believing in yourself no one else will. You are
smarter than you give yourself credit for. Most of
these questions are just common sense. Read
the questions again, think about what is being asked and then look over the answers. Eliminate
the answers that are obviously wrong and make your best choice from what is left. Good luck.
By the way, there is nothing wrong with doing some on-line research for your answers.
