Question

The following PERT network lists all the different tasks that must occur in order for West Coast Aquatics Swim Club to successfully host a regional swim meet at the Frank Fiscallini Swim Center. The darkened boxes are the critical path because

c -> e -> g -> l \
A / \
\ B -> D -> F -> k -> n -> O -> P
\ H -> M /
(The capital letters are the darker boxes)

A. this represents the path of tasks that will take the longest to complete.
B. this represents the path of tasks that will take the least amount of time to complete.
C. these are tasks that the swim meet director could consider for elimination if time becomes critical.
D. critical path also means "off the beaten path." These are the tasks that could distract the swim meet director. They should be assigned to an assistant, so the director can concentrate on other tasks not highlighted.

Answer 1

The answer is letter A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This represents the path of tasks that will take the longest to complete.

Because the critical path is the path of tasks that will take longer to complete. If the director experiences any delays in the completion of these tasks, the entire acitvity will be delayed.
