  1. First choose the people for research. Since there are 8 people for this task, there are (8 choose 3) = 56 ways to do this. Then choose 2 people for writing. There are 5 people left, so there are (5 choose 2) = 10 ways to do this. The remaining 3 are on presentation. Thus the total is 56*10 = 560.
  2. With Emma doing written, there 7 people to split into groups of 3, 1, and 3. Then Daria and Gabriella go together in one of the 3 person groups, so there are 2 choices for that. This leaves us with (1, 1, 3) or (3, 1, 1) with 5 more people. Thus there are (5 choose 3) = 10 ways to fill the three person group and 2 ways to fill one of the one person groups, leaving exactly one person to fill the other group. Thus the total is 2*10*2 = 40
