Short Answer Instructions: (40% – 10 pts each) PLEASE READ CAREFULLY To complete this section, you must pick and answer ANY FOUR OUT OF THE TEN SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS below (4 out of 10). This means you get to choose ANY FOUR from the ten question options you see below. I highly encourage you to choose whichever four you feel most confident in answering **(ignore individual question point values for this section as they will be adjusted during grading – all ten question options are each worth 10 points). Short answers should be around 2-4 sentences, but it’s completely fine if they go a little over. Answers should provide the key information of who, what, where, when, and especially “why” the subject is historically significant. Try to include as much detail and specificity as you can and make sure you are answering all parts of the question. The expectation is that each of these short answer definition questions will take 8-10 minutes.
