  1. Hi, John:

    You are developing an understanding of constructing search statements. Be careful not to over truncate, sometimes you only want one version of a word, i.e. "presidential election" is what you are interested in. I tend to say start more simply and add on to clarify but for this exercise it was about determining key concepts and synonyms.

    Thank you for your efforts,
    Andrea
