This is a thought question. Answering thought questions require an answer made up of complete sentences. Copying text from the book is not acceptable.
To prepare your answer try the following
- Jot down a list of facts or results of calculations which can be used to answer the question.
- Organize the list.
- Write the individual items of this list as sentences.
- Organize these sentences into a well written paragraph (which can be as short as two sentences).
- You may wish to write a rough draft and revise it. Some people find it easier to do this using a word processing program.
