Totally agree with B, that would mess up the whole process!

Wait, D can't be true, can it? State Machines can handle data, right?

A is misleading, you can design it to jump states if needed.

I think C is a valid point, those diagrams can get messy fast.

B is definitely a problem, losing state changes is a big deal.

I thought state machines could still use DAQ functions, but maybe there's a limitation I'm not aware of. I should double-check that.

I recall something about state machines being limited in how they handle transitions, but I can't remember if it was about losing state changes or something else.

I think one disadvantage might be that if two state changes happen at once, only one gets processed. I remember practicing a question like that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the state machine architecture can get pretty complex, especially if the diagram grows too large.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between internal and external hedging techniques. I'll need to review that concept before answering this question.

I'm pretty confident the exchange rate has to do with the relative value of currencies, not the amount of business or barter transactions. I'm going with D on this one.

I think the key here is to focus on the "default value" part of the question. That narrows it down to either B or D, in my opinion.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the answer is 'top' since that command shows the processes sorted by CPU usage.

I'm feeling a little lost on this one. Instance placement is a topic I struggled with in the last unit. I'll try to eliminate the options that don't sound right, then make my best guess.
