My suggestion is that you find all the 'answers' to the above topics, in close
to the order they appear in the main text, by looking at and using the
comprehensive list under the Topic and Question (and Answer) OF
THIS LINKED page (i.e., clicking the Question link and looking for the list very
near the bottom of the page
that this link brings you to).
And THEN, using those notes, return to
THIS PAGE and re-order the content under the 5 TOPIC areas ABOVE, to
facilitate memory. Doing it twice, including ordering the content under
the above topic areas, will much aid initial retention. ]
