Part B – multiple choice question [2 points]
For this part, you are asked to submit one multiple choice question with four answer choices. The question can come from any one of the following chapters: 18, 20, 21, 14, or 16 (materials that you are responsible for are listed under each chapter, please refer to UNIT schedule). This question can be quantitative (e.g., a question that asks you to calculate something) or qualitative (e.g., a question that asks you about a concept) in nature. The purpose of this question is to test how well the person who is answering the question understands the subject matter. Hence, a question is not considered a good question if that question can be answered correctly without having read/understood the content on which you are quizzing. I may select up to two questions from all the questions submitted by this class for Exam 3. Please use the format as shown below for the question (proof read the question, check the correct answer for its accuracy and indicate the correct answer as “—answer—” on left).
