  1. Construct a single chain complex \(C\) such that \(C\) has the following three properties:

    • \(H_i(C)\) is non-zero if and only \(i=1\).
    • There is a coefficient group \(G_0\) such that \(\tilde {H}^i(C;G_0)=0\) for all \(i\).
    • There is a coefficient group \(G_1\) such that \(\tilde {H}^i(C;G_1)\) is non- zero if and only if \(i=1,2\).
  2. Find a topological space \(X\) such that \(H_i(C)=\tilde {H}_i(X)\) for all \(i\).
