At a certain company, successful projects proceed through 8 stages—Stages A through H. An active project is one that is currently in one of these 8 stages. If a stage of a project is completed during a given day, the project is immediately moved to the next stage. At the end of each day, the current stage of each active project is recorded. Some stages require as little as 1 day of work, and none requires more than 3 days of work. A project is said to be delayed if it spends more time at a stage than is required to complete the work. If a project is canceled, the current stage for the day is recorded as Stage X, and the project is no longer considered an active project.
Stage H typically lasts 1 day.

Official Answer: Q1
The report on the Status History Reports tab lists seven projects that had reached Stage H before they were successfully completed. None of these projects spent more than one day in Stage H. This information supports the statement that Stage H typically lasts 1 day.
The diagram on the Stages and Clusters tab provides evidence against both the statement that the first stage of each project is handled by an individual from the administration department and the statement that final stage of each project is handled by an individual from the development department. It shows that Stage A, the first stage, is the responsibility of one or more individuals in the development department, and that Stage H, the final stage, is the responsibility of one or more individuals in the administration department.
The report on the Status History Reports tab provides evidence against the statement that Stage F typically lasts 4–6 days. Each of the projects shown to have reached Stage F was in the stage for either 1 or 2 days. Furthermore, the Projects tab states that no stage requires more than 3 days of work.
The report on the Status History Reports tab provides evidence against the statement that Stage X typically comes immediately after Stage C. For each of the three projects that had reached Stage X, Stage X appears immediately following Stage E.
The correct answer is, Stage H typically lasts 1 day.
Official Answer: Q2
The passage on the Projects tab states that no stage requires more than 3 days of work and that a project is said to be delayed if it spends more time at a stage than is required to complete the work. The information provided in the stimuli does not indicate the required amount of time to complete any specific stage, but it can be inferred that any project that spent more than 3 days in any one stage must have experienced a delay at that stage. The report on the Status History Reports tab indicates that Project 74154 spent 4 days at each of Stages C and D. Therefore, Project 74154 must have experienced a delay at one or more stages.
The correct answer is Delayed.
B.
As discussed above, a project that spent more than 3 days at any one stage must have experienced a delay at that stage. The report on the Status History Report tab indicates that Project 74854 spent 5 days at Stage A and 6 days at Stage C. Therefore, Project 74854 must have experienced a delay at one or more stages.
The correct answer is Delayed.
C.
As discussed above, the information provided in the tabs does not indicate the required amount of time to complete any specific stage other than that no stage requires more than 3 days of work. Given this and the fact that the report on the Status History Reports tab indicates that the first stage (Stage A) of Project 75745 began on the day on the report was generated, it cannot be inferred whether Project 75745 spent more time at that stage than was required to complete the work.
The correct answer is Not necessarily delayed.
Official Answer: Q3
A.
The diagram on the Stages and Clusters tab shows that Stage A and Stage B together constitute the Initial cluster of stages. According to the report on the Status History Reports tab, which its title indicates was generated today, exactly four projects (75351, 75353, 75489, and 75745) are currently in either Stage A or Stage B. Therefore, at least two active projects are currently in a stage within the initial cluster.
The correct answer is Yes.
B.
The diagram on the Stages and Clusters tab shows that Stage C, Stage D, Stage E, and Stage F together constitute the Intermediate cluster of stages. According to the report on the Status History Reports tab, which its title indicates was generated today, exactly six projects (74545, 74803, 74854, 74870, 75038, and 75039) are currently in Stage C, Stage D, or Stage F. Therefore, at least two active projects are currently in a stage within the intermediate cluster.
The correct answer is Yes.
C.
The diagram on the Stages and Clusters tab shows that Stage G and Stage H together constitute the Final cluster of stages. According to the report on the Status History Reports tab, which its title indicates was generated today, no projects are currently at either Stage G or Stage H. Therefore, there are not at least two active projects currently in a stage within the final cluster.
The correct answer is No.

Therefore, there are not at least two active projects currently in a stage within the final cluster.
The correct answer is No.
