Question

2. Risks ____ should be given higher priority because if the risk occurs, it would have a greater impact on the schedule than if it was associated with activities on a path that has a large positive value of total slack.

Answer 1

Risk on the critical path should be given higher priority than activities that are not part of the critical path, or that have a positive slack.

This is because incurring in a riks that is on the critical path can seriously alter the schedule of a project, to the point that the project could be delayed or put off.
