Wait, what? I'm confused - I thought NII was the total income minus the total expenses for the bank. This question is throwing me off a bit, but I'll give it my best shot.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know NII is important for banks, but I'm not totally clear on the exact definition. I'll need to think through the options carefully and see if I can eliminate any that don't seem right.

Okay, I've got this. The policy is clear - we need to make the URL visible but not clickable. That means we can't just replace it with text, and we don't want to redirect it either. Defanging the URL seems like the way to go here.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the different types of cargo ships. I'll have to think this through carefully and try to eliminate the options that don't seem related to containers.

I think tax relief on depreciation allowances is relevant, but I'm not entirely sure about the bank loan payments. They seem like regular costs.

There’s also pre‑construction interest to be claimed in five equal instalments from the year of completion; by 2010‑11 we may have one or two instalments.

I heard a rumor that the bank's secret metric is 'How many pens can we give away before they run out?' Guess I'll go with C too.
