that makes a lot more sense, I will have to practice redrawing circuits to make them more clear! thank you again for your help.

Great, I got the answer correct thank you for your help.

just to be clear, wires do not count do they? Does that mean C and C' are parallel? Because then it would be like a is connected to the bottom side of C', making them parallel. And those together, C" would be parallel to C4 then? I'm sorry this is taking me a while to figure out.

Therefore would C1 and C' be in series (making C") and from there C" and C4 are in series?

It's an online assignment and when I submit these answers it's not accepted

The positive particles would be repelled, but don't they move to the other side of the sphere? So the negative particles would be on the side close to the rod and the positive particles would stay out of the way on the other side, thus the rod and negative particles would attract each other...

number one definitely gave me some trouble. I also thought it possible that it might not move at all, does that sound more likely? Thanks again.
