String harmonics homework exercises

I am working on the above homework assignment regarding string harmonics. I'm stuck on exercise #2. What are the rules or guidelines for determining whether a pitch should be played via a natural or an artificial harmonic?

    I feel like I have to get my hands on a viola to figure out the specifics, but 1) in general, I'd use natural harmonics whenever they're possible to generate the desired pitch and artificial when they aren't, and 2) for extra credit, it would be nice to arrange things so that the left hand doesn't have to make any bigger shifts than it has to.
