For question b), I drew SO2 with 2 double bonds, 2 lone pairs on each of the two O atoms, and a S with expanded octet. Everything else is like what the solution has shown.
Is my answer also correct? Does the structure of SO2 have to have 1 single and 1 double bond in this case?

Re: textbook 6A.15
I think your answer is correct since Sulfur can have an expanded octet. The compound has resonance and can be drawn in different ways.
