  1. Do you want us to simply restate each question and add our answers, or write an essay that includes answers to each of those questions? I recall you saying the paper should only be about two pages long, and an essay would probably be much longer.

    Yes, you may restate each question and add your answers. The assignment however may take longer than 2 pages.
