Are you sure about that? I’ve never heard of .ost before.

I’m pretty certain .pst and .ost are correct, but I might be mixing up .xst with something else.

I feel like .txt could be an option too, but it doesn't seem right for Outlook specifically.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think .pst is definitely one of the answers.

I think .pst and .ost are the main formats for Outlook, but I'm not completely sure about .xst.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know Outlook has its own file formats, but I can't recall the exact names off the top of my head. I'll have to make an educated guess and hope for the best.

Okay, let me think this through. Outlook definitely saves emails in some kind of custom file format, not just plain text. I'm guessing the two options are .pst and .ost, since those are Outlook-specific formats. I'll go with those.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the two file formats are .pst and .ost, so I'll go with those.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know Outlook uses some kind of proprietary file format, but I can't remember the exact names. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think Option B is the best answer. @ActiveProfiles is used to configure how the Spring TestContext Framework is bootstrapped.

This question is testing our understanding of DRM's core functionality. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I hit the right three issues in my response.

The Location field for a parent CI Type seems like a good possibility, but I'm not 100% confident.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure about the specifics of the FASB framework and what it considers part of the reliability concept. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Haha, who even uses .txt for emails? That's like saving your documents as .docx instead of .doc - so outdated.
