Answer 3

Hayley, Tracy, whoever --

Stop changing your name to avoid confusion.

dependent = not independent

Answer 4

Sorry not changing my name on purpose. More than one person uses this computer and it saves the name automatically and I thought I clicked on Tracy. Also the question does ask to identify as independent or not an independent.
