Question

I don't understand this English question. I am writing an essay on The Fourth Amendment, and I have to answer these Relationship Quesitons.
1. Are the Subtopics equal in importance?
2. Are there relationships of time between the Subtopics?
3.Are any Subtopics a result of other Subtopics?

Answer 1

If someone could help explain these to me, that would be great!

Answer 3

Okay, so let's define what a subtopic is.

We already see that sub is in there. The prefix sub means:

1.
situated under or beneath: subterranean
2.
secondary in rank; subordinate: subeditor
3.
falling short of; less than or imperfectly: subarctic, subhuman

So, we can see that sub means second, or something below of.

Answer 4

Now, let's define the whole word. Taken from Dictionary.com

1.
a topic that is included within another topic.

Answer 6

I dont understand what the questions are asking

Answer 7

The first question is asking are the subtopics equal to the fourth amendment. Or atleast thats what I think is talking about.

Answer 8

Or is asking if all of my subtopics are equal to each other? Like are any of them more important than the other?

Answer 9

For example

If I were to write a paper on....Dogs

Dogs could be the title

then the sub titles are like Puppies

And it would go like this:
