Your solutions for problems 3 & 4 should be a computer printout of Prolog runs that show your queries and their results. These results can be obtained using the 'script' command which places a copy of all the information displayed on your screen into a designated file -- then you just print that file. You can read the documentation for this command with 'man script', but it is straightforward. Just enter 'script filename' to start the recording, and enter command 'exit' to terminate recording when you are finished.
