If the answer is more fact-based than descriptive, fewer words are acceptable. Explain your responses well enough that someone who did not read the article can understand your assessment. Small quotes (one sentence or less in quotation marks) from the article may help support some of your answers but the assignment should be your original, analytical writing.
