[Disclaimer: I just retyped whatever answers were already on the papers that people posted. It’s just that they were so
blurry and mahirap basahin. I’m retyping it so it’s easier to read and memorize. If the answer is wrong, blame the one
who provided the samplex. And also, this doesn’t have ALL the questions from the samplexes, just the ones with clear
answers J good luck!]
