Okay, I've got this. Environmental Impact Assessments have to look at the overall, long-term effects of a project, including any cumulative impacts. So the statement that they don't necessarily include those is False.

I'm drawing a blank on the details of what's required in an Environmental Impact Assessment. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one. Maybe I'll go with True just to be safe, but I'm not super confident about that.

Ah, I remember learning about this in my environmental policy class. An Environmental Impact Assessment is legally required to consider cumulative impacts, so the statement that it doesn't necessarily include them must be False.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know Environmental Impact Assessments are supposed to cover a lot of different factors, but I can't remember if cumulative effects are specifically required. I might have to think this through a bit more.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure an Environmental Impact Assessment is supposed to include cumulative effects, so I'll go with False.
