Wait, what was the question again? Oh, right, the potential problems if projects aren't aligned with corporate strategy. Let me see... I think the key issues could be lack of control, quality issues, redundant objectives, and inconsistent methods. I'll make sure I understand this concept well before the exam.

Okay, I've got this. If projects aren't aligned with the company's strategy, it could lead to poor control over the projects, subpar quality of outputs, overlapping objectives between different projects, and inconsistent project management approaches. I feel pretty good about this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know alignment with strategy is crucial, but I'm not sure I can confidently identify the specific problems that may occur. I'll have to review my notes and think it through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about the importance of aligning projects with the company's overall business strategy. I'll need to think through the potential issues that could arise if there's a lack of alignment.

Downloading a file with a worm seems more like a malware attack to me, not really social engineering. I'm pretty confident the email phishing is the right answer here.
