Consider the Is_married_to unary relationship
Assume we want to know the date on which a marriage occurred. Augment this ER diagram to include a Date_married attribute.
Since sometimes persons remarry after the death of a spouse or divorce, redraw this ERD to show the whole history of marriages for person. Show the Date_married attribute on this diagram.

In a real state DB, there is an entity called PROPERTY, which is a property for sale by the agency. Each time a potential property buyer makes a purchase offer on a property, the agency records the date, offering price, and name of the person making the offer.
Represent the PROPERTY entity and its purchase offer attributes using the notation for multivalued attributes.
Represent the PROPERTY entity and its purchase offer attributes using two entity types.
Finally, assume the agency decides to also keep data about buyers and potential buyers, including their name, phone number, and address. Augment your answer to part b above to accommodate this new entity type.
