Answer 3

After you decrease 1 stitch at neck edge on next 3 rows, then work 1 row, decrease on the next, work another row and decrease on the next = 4 rows.
'on following 2 alternative, or alternate rows' is every other row.

Usually it says decrease 1 st on following alternate rows which means to decrease 1 st on every other row. Decrease on row 1 but not on row 2,decrease on row 3 but not on row 4 etc.

Alternate, not alternative, rows, meaning every other row. In this pattern you decrease on each side of the neck edge in each row for 3 rows, then every other row twice.
