I recall that economic indices are usually secondary data, so I think I’ll go with trade fairs and phone calls as my answers.

I feel like published price lists are secondary sources, but I could be mixing them up with something else we practiced.

I think phone calls with suppliers could be a primary source since it's direct information, but I'm confused about the others.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Based on my understanding, market research commissioned by a rival company and phone calls with suppliers would be considered primary data sources, as they're direct from the source. I'll select those two.

I'm a little confused by this question. Some of these options seem like they could be primary data, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to make an educated guess and hope for the best.

Okay, I've got this. Economic indices like PPI and CPI are definitely primary data sources since they come directly from government agencies. And published price lists are also primary since they're straight from the companies.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know primary data comes directly from the source, but I'm not sure which of these options would qualify. I'll have to think it through.

Okay, I think I've got this one. The Baldrige application self-analysis worksheet is designed to help organizations evaluate their overall performance, including the effectiveness of their quality system. That seems like the most relevant option here. I'm feeling pretty good about selecting that as my answer.

Isn't it the other way around? I keep mixing them up. I thought ERC20 represented different tokens and ERC721 was for the same token type.

Okay, the error message says there's a syntax error at line 4, column 11. That's the "-" in the "AND_TABLE_SUFFIX" clause. I think the issue might be with the table name.

I think the first blank might be about something like "processing bottlenecks." I remember studying how bottlenecks can slow down backup tasks.
