Exercise 111.61.6. Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Consider the following types of surfaces
$S = C_1 \times C_2$ where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are smooth projective curves,
$S = C_1 \times C_2$ where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are smooth projective curves and the genus of $C_1$ is $> 0$,
$S \subset \mathbf{P}^3_ k$ is a hypersurface of degree $4$, and
$S \subset \mathbf{P}^3_ k$ is a smooth hypersurface of degree $4$.
For each type briefly indicate why or why not the class of surfaces of this type contains rational surfaces.
