Suggest that you do your homework rather than asking us to take your test for you.

Photo 101 Was 20 years ago but I think the answer was to read the book.

1. D (point & shoot, which includes cell phones)
2. A. (decrease lens opening size, ie aperture)
3. C (paper exposed to light)
4. D (viewfinder - whatever that is. The other choices are clearly wrong.)
5. Yes (frequently does)
6. Yes - among other potential causes
7. Slide (reversal) film

6. Are brown stains on a dried print caused by a short rinse time?


It's called "toning", quite popular with B&W folks and enhances archival durability, particularly if selenium is used; Pt/Pd is another favorite choice.

Beechblondie -- Welcome to Large Format Photography Forums. We're usually a decent bunch of people. If the attempts of a few to be clever have confused you, Louie Powell gave you honest answers. To elaborate a little:
2. Decrease lens opening size, which means using a higher f/number. This confused me long long ago.
3. Paper long out-of-date can show this. Usually it is overall exposure to white light.

Great Louie, you gave her three wrong answers.
