Never mind my previous question, i understand it.

A different question though.
Do we have to know examples of binary/variable stars (other than ceiphids)?

i think you just need to know the "branching off" of variables

the verb says classify, so that must be it.

use the little diagram on page 326 of the jacarnada text. and just know brief meanings of the main parts; non-periodic, intrinsic, etc.
