Instructions: Search the web and answer the eight questions below and provide an active link (URL) that indicates where you found the answer. The answer should be obvious from the information based on the URL link you provide. In other words, I shouldn’t have to run a search or click on more links to find the answer in the URL you provide. You cannot use any one website to answer more than two questions, and you cannot use Answers.com, Wikipedia, or Wikapedia. I prefer that you stay away from open source websites such as those mentioned above because anyone can post topics on those websites. As a rule avoid, “.com” extensions. Use .edu, .org, and .gov websites instead. They are more reliable and authoritative.
