5. Do any captions include a quote?

Yes, it's usually in the third sentence.

6. Are there any that have four sentences?

G. Why do you think it is possible to tell a complete story with just photos and captions?

The photos and captions help tell the most important parts of the story at that time while writing the whole story tells the most important pats and events leading up to them.
