I recall that activities like refereeing might not be classified as OBAs, but I can't remember the specifics.

I practiced a similar question where selling insurance was considered an OBA. I wonder if that applies here too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like selling real estate could be an OBA. I need to double-check that.
