Hello,
Hi hope this solution gets to you in time. Before anything else, let me give a short advice in how to use this solution. As always, you have to adapt the ideas presented here. If you feel that you cannot rewrite it as so, what you do is you 'cite'. You copy the entire section you feel is important but place it between quotation marks like this "put copied text here" and after it you write down the author and year of publication(Author, year). So if you copy sections of this solution into your final paper, do this: "copied text", (Jones, 2011). Just make sure that you include in the references the bibliographic entry of this solution, ok? Down at the bottom, you will see the bibliographic entry for this solution which you will need to place in your own references section for your final answer. This will combat any plagiarism claim. If you have any questions, just let me know via the feedback section. Good luck with your studies.
Sincerely,
OTA 105878/Xenia Jones
