Explanation:

Just took test, and the answer above is wrong so i wanted to help.

Answer 2

The total number of articles is 14 and only 7 can be published. Since what is asked is the ways to assemble the 7 articles, this is a permutation problem.
14P7 = 17297280 ways
If order is not of concern, the problem is just a combination problem
14C7 = 3432 ways
