Can you explain to me how this works, i dont understand the directions or explanation

Well you got the right answers even though you didn't know what you were doing, so I assume you know what you are doing even though you think you don't

It's a puzzle. Each letter represents a word and you have to figure out which letter represents each word. Since the word "and" is in every sentence, and every letter sequence contains the letter R, you can assume that R means "and".The 1st and 4th sequence of letters also has the letter W in common and the word "birds". Therefore, W stands for "birds". The second and third sequence has V and "cars" in common. The second and fourth sequence has N and "draws" in common. The first and third sequence have P and L and "paints" and "planes" in common. Without having those letters or words in other sequences, you can't tell which is which. Your first question is about letter Q. Since Q is in the first sequence and the only word we haven't linked up to a letter is "Michelle", Q means "Michelle". Your second question is about the word "paints." Since "paints" can be either P or L, the answer cannot be determined from the info given.
