For each question (besides the ranking question at the start of the final) you should write
at minimum 4-8 sentences per question. You should NOT state word for word what was
said in the debate to fill up space, rather, you should explain why what you heard answered
each of the following questions. It is fine to relate back to what was said I just do not need
you to retype what they said in their speeches.
Who won the debate?
Rank 1 through 4 (1 being the best 4 being the worst) (2 point each)
