Sorry, but I think you need to do a bit more studying, as on the face of it,
those look like fairly easy queries.

Unfortunately, without knowing what the table(s) involved look like, no one
is capable of supplying you with an answer.

Ummm...

It really looks like you're asking us to do your homework. Giving you the
answer will help you answer the question, but if you don't understand Boolean
logic or truth tables or how the AND and OR operators work, you'll flunk your
exam anyway, so it won't do you any good.

Think of AND and OR as if they were arithmetic operators like + or -. Just as
2+2 = 4, so

(any True expression) AND (any True expression) = TRUE
(any True expression) AND (any False expression) = FALSE
(any False expression) AND (any False expression) = FALSE
(any True expression) OR (any True expression) = TRUE
(any True expression) OR (any False expression) = TRUE
(any False expression) OR (any False expression) = FALSE

Put your field criteria in place of the (any ... expression) and remember that
a WHERE clause retrieves a record if the result is TRUE.
