                                                (Choose all correct answers)    

                You must ensure that you have every single entity--even if hundreds of them exist--on one single, big diagram.

                The crows feet (many ends) can point whichever way is the easiest to draw.

                Avoid crossing one relationship line with another. (*)

                It is OK to break down a large ERD into subsets of the overall picture. By doing so, you end up with more than one ERD that, taken together, documents the entire system. (*)
