I think they should've checked for any health issues first.

Staff training is crucial, but I think the disability angle is key too.

Wait, an extinction burst? Really? That seems a bit off.

Ryan 12 months ago

Definitely agree, biological factors are often overlooked!

Sounds like a medical issue could be at play here.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the client’s disability could play a role in her behavior. That makes me lean towards option A.

I think we practiced a question similar to this where staff training was a big factor. But I'm not sure if that's the main issue here.

I remember discussing how medical issues can sometimes be overlooked in cases like this. Could it be option C?

Tess 1 year ago

I feel like the increase in behavior could be related to an extinction burst, which we talked about in class. So maybe option D?

Okay, I've read through the options a few times. I think C is the correct answer - a significant volume of sales to unknown entities is a major red flag for potential fictitious revenues.

I think the disclosure about whether the investment product is guaranteed by the bank is pretty important, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right answer.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Do I need to do anything else besides just adding that line of code? I want to make sure I'm meeting all the requirements here.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like the rules-based approach definitely has clear penalties for non-compliance. I think that points to option D?
