Which of the following shall help the purchaser control the selection of tier 2 suppliers?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

When a party takes on a contractual obligation, they are legally required to perform the obligation.

That same contracting party is still entitled to subcontract out the work to another service provider, unless the contract:

- is a contract for personal services, such an employment contract

- contains an express term preventing subcontracting out the work, or an implied term

Subcontracting clauses are written to control whether the contractor is entitled to subcontract, and how purchaser shall control that subcontracting process.


- Subcontracting clauses (delegation of contractual obligations to third parties)

Insurance clause doesn’t fit the bill either.

Wait, can a guarantee clause really help with that?

Warranty clause? Not really relevant here.

I thought the insurance clause was more about risk management than supplier selection. This is tricky!

I feel like the guarantee clause could also play a role, but I can't recall the specifics.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where the warranty clause was emphasized for supplier control.

I think the subcontracting clause might be the right answer since it directly relates to managing suppliers.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions a 2-node FAS8300 cluster with a data SVM using multimode LACP and VLAN tags. I'll need to review my notes on ONTAP networking to make sure I understand the implications of those details.

This looks like a straightforward question about the Activity Settings page. I'll carefully read through the options and think about which ones seem most relevant.
