    The document contains 4 questions about processes in Linux. Question 1 demonstrates creating child and parent processes using fork() and wait(). Question 2 uses exec() to load a binary in the child process. Question 3 displays the process IDs of the parent and child. Question 4 creates a zombie child process that is adopted by init.
