How many points are in an inch? How many points are in a pica?
72, 12

Of the seven classifications, which classification(s) would best work as body type? Why? 
San-serif because as more and more signs, advertisements, and websites are starting to use san-serif text in their advertisements. They are moving on from the old serif. It is also very easy to read.

Identify the lowercase characters that have ascenders?
b, d, f, h, k, l, t

Identify the lowercase characters that have descenders?
g, j, p, q, y

Classify the following typefaces and briefly explain why you believe it should be classified that way:

blackletter; it is very stylized and has many different strokes around it

old style; it has some serifs in some of the letters, mainly consistent letter sizing

script and cursive; its type style is cursive and it can also resemble a person's handwriting

modern; it is simple to read
