I have a vague memory of VOCs being linked to product durability too, but I think indoor air quality is the more common answer.

I think VOCs primarily affect indoor air quality, but I could be mixing it up with something else we covered.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on VOCs. I don't recall learning much about their specific impacts. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know VOCs are related to air quality, but I'm not sure if they impact daylight, product durability, or recycling. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I think I've got a good handle on this. I'll focus on configuring the BGP peering, setting the update source, and then applying the aggregation and next-hop-self as needed.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, and I'm not entirely confident I understand the difference between customer engagement, operational metrics, and customer feedback. I'll have to think this through carefully.
