I’m a bit confused about the conflict of interest option. Does that really fit in this scenario? I thought it was more about business relationships.

This question seems similar to one we practiced on privacy violations. I think Green could definitely argue for intrusion into his private matters.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like slander might not apply since it’s more about spoken defamation, right?

I remember we discussed privacy rights in class, and I think the best claim here would be about intrusion into private matters.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The .toUpperCase() method seems like the obvious choice to convert the string to uppercase.

It seems like configuring the group policy for local authentication could solve this, but I'm a bit uncertain if that's the key step needed.

This seems like a straightforward question about communication policies between CSPs and clients. I'll focus on understanding the key points of each answer choice and pick the one that best explains the need for an established policy.

I'm going with B. Smith should have known better than to go rummaging through an employee's personal device without a valid reason.

I think C, Public disclosure of private facts, is also a strong option. Smith's actions could be seen as a breach of Green's privacy, even if he didn't actually disclose anything.
