I think you misunderstood me. When do you turn in your assignment?

Welcome to the forum, thestoxon.

We like to help when we can, but we don't help with homework assignments. Your teacher wants to know what you can do, not what we can.

As you may see, I've done this exercise (that's why I want only to CORRECT my provided answers, I don't want anyone to do exercise instead of me). I do not have answer key for this task so I am looking for help on the website ;)

@thestoxon Please tell us where you found the exercise (title and author of the book or a link to the website). You must always cite your source on this forum whenever you quote someone else's words. This is a legal requirement.
