Create a Python program that:
Reads the content of a file (Vehlist.txt)
The file contains matching pairs of vehicle models and their
respective makes
Separate out the individual make and model on each line of the
file
Add the vehicle make to one list, and the vehicle model to another
list; such that they are in the same relative position in each
list
Prompt the user to enter a vehicle model
Search the list containing the vehicle models for a match
If a match is found, display the vehicle make by accessing the
vehicle make list entry in the same relative position the match was
found
If no match is found, display a message saying so to the user
Allow the user to enter name for the file
The program should:
Use variables with meaningful names
Display easily understood prompts when collecting user input
Have appropriate comments indicating what each part of the program
is doing
Have a comment area at the beginning of the program identifying the
author of the program and the class it was created for
Save the program as a Python module, and submit the program through
this assignment

Question 2 (Function Template)
Write a template version of the iterative binary search algorithm that searches an array of arbitrary type for a given key.
Declare and implement a class called Student that keeps the student id, name, and grade. Include a default constructor, the overloaded insertion (<<) operator and also the overloaded extraction operator (>>).
Declare and implement another class called Book that keeps the book’s title, author, and price. Just like the Student class, Include in class Book a default constructor, the overloaded insertion (<<) operator and also the overloaded extraction operator (>>).
Write a main() function that test your function by passing parameters of type int, float, char, Student, and Book. Identify and implement additional suitable operators needed to be overloaded in the Student and Book class that you define above so that it can work well with the template binary search function that you have written. A Student object should be searched using the student id and the Book object should be searched using its title.

1. Economic research shows that the “UC tomato harvester” created significant net economic benefits for California agriculture, even though the University of California got sued because of it.
2. The greatest legacy of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers was their success at unionizing most agricultural workers in California.
3. The Coalition of Immokalee Workers used strike tactics to win concessions from tomato growers.
4. When it was discovered that farm employers were enslaving immigrant workers in Florida, farm labor advocates took their campaign to Taco Bell, which did not hire farm workers.
5. The Fair Foods Movement is about getting consumers a fair price for the food they purchase in the grocery store.

4. You are given an animal whose development has never been characterized before. You note that at the four-cell stage, one blastomere transiently shows dark pigmentation. However, as embryogenesis proceeds, the dark pigmentation fades and you are unable to determine what becomes of the blastomere in the fully-developed embryo.
a) [4pts] Describe a simple experiment you can do to determine the fate of the dark blastomere. Provide sufficient detail to show that you understand the technique and its interpretation.
b) [5pts] For the animal described above, you find that the dark-pigmented blastomere at the four-cell stage ultimately gives rise to all of the central nervous system of the embryo. Using this information, devise an experiment to determine whether this cell is specified to be CNS at the 4-cell stage. In addition to describing the experimental procedure, describe the possible results and how you would interpret them.
c) [1pt] As this embryo undergoes gastrulation you notice that the ectodermal cells surround the endoderm similar to Xenopus. What is the name to describe the movement of these ectodermal cells?
