Hello
I was wondering if I could get some help with work on Binary Relations. We've done very little of this in class, and hours of Googling has provided little help.
So I was hoping that someone could look over my attempts at the questions and let me know if I've gone wrong.
I'm still not clear on the definitions of each relation, so I wouldn't be surprised if everything I've done is wrong.

I know that a relation is an order relation if it is reflexive, anti-symmetric and transitive, but my problem is working out whether the relation is reflexive, anti-symmetric or transitive in the first place.
I'd appreciate any and all help. This is driving me literally insane.
