  1. Hi, Mona:

    You demonstrate a good understanding of how to break down a question into key concepts and use boolean connectors to create a search statement. I tend to start with only a few terms and add more if necessary. It is good to be specific but you can narrow your search too much if you are not sure of the vocabulary or terminology used for your topic as well.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
