I also addressed the first minor claim below in paragraph form. Since I have more than one point of data and more than one sentence for each component, I divided the paragraph into two, which makes the paper more reader friendly.
I did change the word count on the assignment to 1200-1500 words. Writing in this format takes practice, and I would rather you have a shorter paper (1200 words) that is structurally sound than a longer paper full of fluff.
