$80,000 seems too low, but I guess it depends on the calculations.

The estate tax burden is on the nephew, so he needs to cover it.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different Salesforce functionalities and which ones might be ignored in workflow rules and approval processes.

Okay, I've got this. The source control operation used to store local changes is called a Stash. It allows you to save your current work without committing it to the main branch. I'm confident that's the right answer.

I'm a little confused by the different STP modes mentioned in the options. Is this a PVST+ or MSTP environment? I need to make sure I select the right commands for the correct STP protocol.

Hmm, I'm not sure I fully understand the core spreads concept. I'll need to review that part of the question again and maybe look up some definitions to make sure I'm interpreting it correctly. Once I've got that down, I think I can work through the rest of the information and come up with a solid answer.
