The document contains a 10 question exam covering topics in abstract algebra including group theory, lattices, and Boolean algebras. The exam is divided into 3 parts - Part A contains 4 short answer questions, Part B contains 3 long answer questions where students must answer 2, and Part C also contains 3 long answer questions where students must answer 2. Students are asked to define concepts, prove theorems, find subsets and substructures, and determine properties of algebraic structures.
