5/ The ionosphere layers that reflect radio waves are known as the C layer, D layer, E layer, F layer.

6/ OK as is.

7/ The context-analysis software package knows that there is always a u after q and that i often comes before e except after c.

8/ The lowercase b, h, k, f, l, and t all share long vertical strokes on the left side.

9/ Rotring finograph
