The topic of the paper is the question in large bold. The paper topic is designed to pull together the reading and videos in the module under a question which would apply that material.
The numbered questions are questions which need to be answered to adequately address the paper topic. For the most part these questions have their origin in the questions contained in the notes assignments. Some of the questions concern terms which are in the paper topic.
Obviously to address the paper topic you need to define and explain the concepts in the question. Or to put it another way, in order to answer a question you first have to be clear what the question is asking you.
All these definitional terms are in the notes assignments. These notes assignments tell you what reading/video the definition is in; and so, as you are working on the notes assignments you are building the material for your paper.This means that you should have already found the information when you were working on your notes.
