(8) Ensure that each question and sub-question is clearly numbered.
(9) While you are not required to cite your sources, this does not mean that you can

detected.
(10) Ensure that your PDF document is NOT encrypted to a “secured” mode and that it is
NOT password protected, as these files cannot be marked. Virus-infected files will
