  1. 1Redundancy wastes space because you are storing different types of data in the same place.False
  2. 2When you need to change data, redundancy makes your changes more cumbersome and time-consuming.True
  3. 3An entity is also defined as an attribute.Flase
    An entity is a person, place, object, event, or idea for which you want to store and process data.
    Each entity has its own table.
    The attributes of an entity become the columns in the table. An attribute is a characteristic or property of an entity.

  5. 5An attribute is known as a row in most databases.False.
    Rows are commonly known as records, which provide all information about the entity.
  6. 6A database will not only hold information about multiple types of entities, but also information about the relationships among these multiple entities.True,
    which is why there is a difference between relational and non-relational database
  7. 7Each table in a database represents two or more entities.False
    Each entity has its own table.
  8. 8The relationship between different entities (in different tables) is handled by their common columns.True.
