I’m pretty confident it’s B too. Most states do require a CPA for audits, but I hope I’m not mixing it up with something else I studied!

I’m torn between A and B. I feel like both could be relevant, but I lean towards B since it specifically mentions CPA.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think local governments typically do need an independent auditor, which points to B as well.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The requirements mention parsing logs and identifying root causes, but I'm not sure if synthetic monitoring is the best fit. Maybe analytics or alert management would be a better approach to really dig into the data and pinpoint problems. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think option D is important because not having to do a self-assessment tax return can save a lot of time.

Hmm, I'm a bit stuck on this one. The fact that the operations partner doesn't use Google Accounts makes it a bit tricky. I'm not sure if the VPN or SSH key options would work well in this case. I'll need to think it through a bit more.
