I'm a bit confused by this question. The wording is kind of tricky. I'm leaning towards D, since the criteria should be measured independently, but I'm not totally sure. Guess I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Okay, I've got this! The key is that the behavior analysts are trying to use the simplest intervention possible, so the outcome criteria should be developed first, before the intervention. I'm going with B.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I'm debating between B and C, since the criteria could start broad and then get more targeted. I'll have to think it through a bit more.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The question states that the behavior analysts are trying to use the simplest intervention, so the outcome criteria should be developed first, before the intervention is identified. B is the clear answer here.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking us to lock all fields on Sheet2 when the button on Sheet1 is clicked. So the correct answer is C - add the Activate Sheet action for Sheet2 and the Lock All action in the Button Properties.
