You only need to answer TWO of the following short answer/essay questions.
You may answer the third one for extra credit. I will take the two responses you score highest on for your test and the third (if you do it) as a bonus.
Note: Each short answer/essay is worth 2X's. On your Formative, the first question says it's worth 4 points. I am using this question to put the total point value you earned on BOTH essay questions. Formative does not all
