Answer 2

Clare B deserves whatever grade you might get from this question in school. You have a computer; learn to use it. If that fails, read your textbook and/or go to the library.

You are not learning if you are just given the answers. There will not be folks to do this for you the rest of your life. A work ethic like this can mean a career in a fast food restaurant. Not too late to change your ways. I know this comes across as harsh to you but it is the truth.
