Help! I don’t know what these questiona are asking me?!?

Question

I need assistance understanding the following questions related to dilations in geometry:

Which of the following scale factors would produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image? 
   a) 4.5 
   b) 3.5 
   c) 0.5

Which of the following scale factors would produce an expansion under a dilation of the original image? 
   a) 2/3 
   b) 1/2 
   c) 3/2 
   d) 3/4

A dilation has a scale factor of 1/4. What term describes this type of dilation? 
   a) Congruent 
   b) Contraction 
   c) Expansion 
   d) Expulsion

What must be true about the image of triangle JKL under a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 and a center of dilation at point C? 
   a) The image is smaller than triangle JKL and on the same side of point C as triangle JKL. 
   b) The image is larger than triangle JKL and on the same side of point C as triangle JKL. 
   c) The image is smaller than triangle JKL and on the opposite side of point C from triangle JKL. 
   d) The image is larger than triangle JKL and on the opposite side of point C from triangle JKL.

I would greatly appreciate any explanations or guidance on these questions. Thank you!
