You said that you don't have a text for this class.
Which school is providing these questions?
Where does it expect you to find these answers?
What is the name of your school?

You should double-check with that school. If you're paying for an online course without access to a text or a series of lectures or any other source of information, something is wrong. I have three grandchildren who have taken a variety of high school and university online courses, and ALL of them had access to texts, either in print or online.
