D sounds off, I don't think removing the SD is extinction.

Wait, is it really just about withholding the reinforcer?

C is interesting, but not quite right for extinction.

I thought it was A at first, but B makes more sense.

Adela 12 months ago

It's definitely B, that's how extinction works!

I’m torn between A and B. A seems too broad, but I can't shake the feeling that it might be right.

I’m pretty certain that extinction involves not reinforcing the behavior anymore, so I’m thinking it’s definitely B.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I feel like it was about removing attention, which makes me lean towards C, but I'm not sure.

I think extinction is about withholding the reinforcer after the behavior occurs, so maybe it's B?

Got it, I think the answer is to verify the interface is untagged on each device. That should ensure the "device-context x" command works as expected. Time to mark that one down and move on to the next question.

I think external stakeholders include groups outside the organization, so I'm leaning toward A, the environmental pressure group.

Supplier relationship management seems like a good approach too. Building a strong partnership with the supplier could help ensure they have what's needed.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the differences between the modes. I'll need to review the details on how each one handles the traffic flow across the firewall.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between the "Whole Number" and "Custom" options for the data validation. I'll need to read through that part carefully.
