I would suggest doing a whole right up of each reaction. This
insures that you learn what the reactions are like (through repetition),
and makes sure that you don't screwed by doing the sorter version.
However, if you do choose to do the shorter version, you probably will be
safe as long as you show, understandably, how the reactions finally
arrived. This may mean that you have to write the intermediate steps, and
would basically then be a whole right up, which is probably what the book
wants you to get.
