Answer 1

Let's break it down into a clear picture by using an example. Let's say there was a car crash and a reporter was sent to cover it. He's going to use the Reporter's Formula to write his story, he is going to one by one ask his questions:

Who was involved in the accident?
What were the known events of the accident?
When did the accident occur?
Where did the accident happen?
Why did the accident occur?
How are those involved in the accident doing?

Now what is the significance of these questions? Why does a reporter want to ask them? What details will the questions provide? What details will be left out?

Huge hint: The four questions above can all be answered with a one of your answer choices, or a form of one of the choices.
