Totally agree with A, sometimes you just need access to blocked sites!

D seems like a risky move, but I get why some would do it.

Wait, people still use dial-up? That's surprising!

I think C makes more sense, who wants to use slow dial-up for email?

A is definitely the reason, proxy servers can be so restrictive.

I feel like C could be a reason too, but it seems less likely than A or D.

I'm not really sure, but I remember a practice question about bypassing security measures. Could it be D?

Brandon 1 year ago

I think the answer might be A, since users often want to access sites that are restricted by the organization's proxy.

I vaguely recall something about using personal connections for privacy, so maybe D is the right choice after all.

Okay, let me see. Stories and Feed are obvious choices, and I think Right column is also an option. But I'm not sure about Marketplace - I'll have to double-check that one.

Ah, I see now. The key is that option III mentions pernicious anemia, which is a known cause of chronic glossitis. So the correct answer must be E - all of the statements are correct. Nicely done, this was a tricky one!

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Let me re-read it a few times and think through the RAID levels to figure out the best match.
