Required:

• Discuss what the pure expectations theory would imply about the yield curve.
• Compare and contrast the yields and maturities for each of the securities.
• Discuss which you would hold and why relative to interest rate risk.

I don't know if the information I have found is correct. If you could let me know if that is correct and help with the required it would be much appreciated.
