I'm lost as to how to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help! I need it ASAP. This is worth a large percentage of my course, and I'd rather get a semi-acceptable mark for it to get me out of the depths for my exam.
Thankyou in advance!!! Please help me get Candidate finished first.
