I practiced a similar question where we identified external threats, and I think D about consumer preferences is definitely a threat.

I thought we discussed that post-functions were tied to the instance versions, so it makes sense if they didn't import due to the version mismatch.

I think when we qualify an opinion, we might need to refer to the audit report itself, right? But I'm not entirely sure which option it is.

Wow, TTT's got some serious problems on their hands. I'd say B, D, and F are the threats - a fire, tablets, and a design flaw. Sounds like they need to call in the Ghostbusters and the Geek Squad!

This is a tough one, but I'm going with B, D, and E. A fire, tablets, and higher taxes - it's like TTT is being attacked from all sides. I hope they have a good fire extinguisher and a backup plan for tablets!
