You should be able to score 100%. If not, study the solutions provided
and try to understand why your own answer was incorrect.
Attempt the quiz again. If you still have difficulties, then seek help to
J I
better understand those questions that were answered incorrectly. Only
JJ II then should you repeat the quiz.
