BusinessAnalytica wants to create a quote network. A $$quote$$ happens when a posts contains new content $$on top$$ of a shared posts $($Reddit or Mastodon API: Premium data dictionary $|$ Docs $|$ Reddit or Mastodon Developer Platform$).$ Build a quote network from the posts you downloaded and plot a graph to present to BusinessAnalytica. In order to solve this question, you should first find whether each posts is a quote and get the screen names of the quoted posts. Then get the screen names of the Reddit or Mastodon users of the original posts that were quoted. Create an edge list of $$who quoted whom$$ and plot the graph.

$10.$ Find the row numbers of the quote posts from the posts data you downloaded. Store them in the variable, quote.posts

$(1$ mark$)$

$11.$ Find the screen names of the users in quote.posts. Store them in a variable, who.quoted

$12.$ Find the information regarding the original posts objects that were quoted. This will be a list. Store it in a variable, original.quoted.posts.list. Verify that its class is a list. Then find the class of the contents of the first object in the list. Finally find the names of all attributes of the first object in the list. $(2$ marks$)$
