But what if Miss K is mistaken? We had a case study where assumptions led to misunderstandings. That could apply here too.

I think option A makes sense. If Miss K sees them together, it raises questions about loyalty and trust, which are crucial in accounting.

I'm not so sure. We talked about personal lives being separate from work, right? Maybe it's not an ethical issue if it doesn't impact their professional relationship.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. The purpose of Universal Design for Learning is a bit unclear to me. I'll have to think it through and try to eliminate the options that don't seem quite right.

I'm confident the answer is Manager. That's the central control process where you set up and manage the overall ETL workflow, including any performance-related settings.
