Answer 4

Let's see, my grandmother paints and puts up wallpaper.  Wallpaper is practicly paper glued onto your wall.  A mural is a giant picture PAINTED onto your wall.  My friend says a mural is a giant board, cloth or any material.  It can have practicly anything on it, and is not usually used inside a home.  Now, if you go to an aquarium, they might have a mural on the side, or covering of a wall.  (possibly of whales)  I hope you figure out which you're gonna use.

Answer 5

Wall paper is a texture or (pattern, stripes, ducks, fleur de lis, ivy, etc.) which repeats, printed on fabric, vinyl or heavy duty paper that is then glued to the wall and usually is applied to all or most of the walls in a room.

A mural, even though it may cover an entire wall is an image, either scenic, or a portrait.
