Help me please. I had COVID when the teacher discussed this and he won't respond to my emails. Thanks!

Draw the resonance structures of the following compound. Use curved arrows to show movement of electrons. Do not forget to include the given structure as one of the resonance structures. Identify whether each structure is either a major or minor contributor.

 

Thank you!
