5. A)Gross rating indicates the possibility of multiple ratings per target member, it’s always ratings or net ratings and it produces CPP (cost per point). Gross impressions indicates the possibility of multiple impressions per target member, it’s impressions and is used in CPM (cost per mile or cost per thousand).
B) Her thought has a little bit mistakes. First of all, impression is one opportunity for a person to see the advertising, but it doesn’t mean people see the advertising. For example, there’s a situation that people open the TV without watching or when they leave the room. Second, if same people see the same advertising multiple times, the impressions still increase, it doesn’t matter if there’s the same person or not. So it can’t be said impression is how many people will actually see the advertising.

2 spots in 60 Minutes 10.8*2=21.6 GRP 21 < 21.6, so 2 spots in 60 Minutes will add more GRPs to a schedule.
