4. (2 marks each; total 10 marks) For each of the following questions, select the correct answers by clearly shading in the appropriate boxes. Each question is worth 2 marks, but there may be anywhere from 0 to 4 correct answers. You will lose marks for each incorrect choice (i.e. selecting something that’s wrong, or missing something that’s correct, up to a maximum of 2 marks deduction per question (i.e. no negative marks ☺)
