In store.c there is a function ask_ques(q), it's string compares are
messed up.  Replace:

                if((strcmp(word,"death")) == 10){

with:
                if (!strcmp(string,"death\n")){

Do similarly for the other two questions.


Also, I replaced char word[] with char *word instead of giving it a size.
