User:Jackson Peebles/Adoption/Jackson Peebles (test) Exam 1

Here is the test. You have up to one week to complete it once I've posted it, but it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes maximum to complete. You may (on any of these tests) save the page, take a break, and come back up until you notify me that you are complete; however, you are limited to one week per exam. I'm looking for thoughtfulness in your answers, and reserve the right to post follow-up questions should your answer be ambiguous or not on the right track. Good luck, and here we go:
