2. Your SQL script, which is either for each question--one-step solution, or for the two sub-questions of each question-- two-step solution; and
3. Screenshots of the resultant tables which are to be pasted into your submission file immediately after the SQL code for that query. Typing or manually drawing the results is NOT acceptable.
NOTE:
1. Your SQL code should be correct for any data, not just any sample data that you create.
2. If your query results are contradict with the fact, please still present your answers based on the given prime_minister database.
