You must have answers in the same book in which you found the questions, and so you should ask about whatever it is in the answers that you are not clear about – then I will help you.
You clearly have not watched my free lectures (otherwise you would find the questions easy), and I suggest that you do.
The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F5 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
