C and D sound right, but I’m not sure about the consistency part.

Wait, are we really saying that being warned matters more than being in a protected class?

B seems important, but isn't it subjective?

Totally agree, you can't fire someone just for being in a protected class.

I recall that having proof of a violation is important, so I think option A is definitely the odd one out here.

This question reminds me of a practice exam where we had to identify valid reasons for termination. I think consistency in applying rules is crucial, so maybe that's not the answer.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option A is the one that doesn't fit as a valid just cause.

I remember discussing just causes in class, and I think being a member of a protected class shouldn't be a reason for termination.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The daily meditation and Tai Chi sessions seem to be an integral part of M's organizational culture, so the auditors' recommendation to stop them would definitely impact the routines and rituals aspect.

I remember us discussing efficiency in production equipment during practice questions, so I feel like low efficiency could really drive up indirect costs.

Didn't we have a similar question where “nxos_vlans” was mentioned? I'm leaning towards that one since NX-OS devices often need specific modules.

Whoa, this is a tough question. I'm not totally sure about the right properties to choose here. I'll have to think it through step-by-step.
