The right answers are:
Must be true: The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
It can be deduced from "Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline"

Must be false: The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.
It can be deduced from "According to the policy, a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software"

The other options are incorrect:
"The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended." because it says "submitted within 15 days after".
"A team member identified the need for the software for the project." because no info about "identification of the need".
"The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software." because no info about expenses.

  1. The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project -> This must be false. Company policy clearly states that an employee can start work on a particular project only after the software license is approved. This statement says a team member started using the software for the project before the project manager even submitted a license request for the software. Serious violation. Fireable offence. How dare they. This team member and their manager should be sent to hell with minimal supplies and should be made to fight their way back.
  2. The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline -> This must be true. Company policy states that the software is available only during the official timeline of the project.

Must be true: A team member identified the need for the software for the project.
Must be false: The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.

As per the information provided in the passage, let's eliminate the options:

1)The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project. Must be false.
Since the project manager ensured that everyone complied with all policy requirements, and any employee cannot be using the software before the request is submitted because it will not be available.
2)The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
We cannot say this for sure without the usage log.
3)The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended.
Can be true or cannot be true. we don't know.
4)A team member identified the need for the software for the project. Must be True.
As someone has to identify the need before the project manager submits the request.
5)The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software.
We do not have any iformation about what other expenses are.

The rules:

First: Manager Requires License AND get approval
Then: Employee could use the software

First: software license is assigned to employees
Then: software available

First: Software available
Then: project can begins

Restrictions:
1. employee can use software only during project duration.
2. Project logs must be submitted within 15 days after the project concludes.

“ A project manager obtained a software license for the project and ensured that both the project manager and the team members complied with all policy requirements.”

Ok, let’s evaluate the options:

First option: The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.
This MUST BE FALSE, because of the first rule mapped.

Second option: The project manager's team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
This MUST BE TRUE, because of our first restriction.

Third option: The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended.
We don’t know, only know that need to submit within 15 days. It could be 10 days but could not be. This does not must be MUST TRUE neither MUST FALSE. Ignore this option.

Fourth option: A team member identified the need for the software for the project.
We don’t know and it’s not relevant. Could be true and could be false. Ignore this option.

Fifth option: The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software.
We don’t know and it’s not relevant. Could be true and could be false. Ignore this option.

A key word is in the last part. They complied with all policy requirements. Going through we see that they must submit a license request before any employees use the software. That means the first line must be false. The next line says it was only used within the project timeline this must be true because it is stated as the requirements. When we go further down we see things that were never stated 10 days nope said 15. Largest expense, maybe.

The company’s policy states that software can only be used after a license request has been submitted and approved, and that employees may use the software only during the official project timeline, which begins after the software is made available. We're told that the project manager obtained the license and ensured full compliance with all policy requirements. This means that all actions followed the correct sequence. So, it must be true that the team used the software only during the official project timeline, because using it outside that period would violate the policy.

On the other hand, the statement saying the license request was submitted after a team member had already started using the software directly contradicts the required order of steps and the claim that the policy was fully followed. Therefore, this scenario must be false.

Option C: The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended.

Since the usage logs must be submitted within 15 days after the project concludes, the manager might have submitted after or before 10 days. Eliminated

Option D: A team member identified the need for the software for the project

There is no supporting statement in the policy related to who identifies the need for software. Eliminated

Option E: The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software.

The policy does not concern about the project-related expenses. Eliminated

Option A: The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project

Th licenses will be assigned to employees, only after the approval of license request by project manager. Must be false

Option B: The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.

The policy clearly states that the employees may use the software only during the official project timeline. Must be true


Must be true: B
Must be false: A

let's evaluate each statement:

1. "The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project."
Policy Point : "a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software."
This statement must be false

2)"The project manager's team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline."
Policy Point : "Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline."
Therefore statement must be true

3)"The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended."
Policy Point : "usage logs must be submitted within 15 days after the project concludes."
Therefore, this statement Cannot be determined / Not necessarily true or false.

4)"A team member identified the need for the software for the project.
The policy outlines how a license is obtained and used (PM requests, employees use, logs submitted). It doesn't specify who identifies the initial need for the software.
Therefore, this statement Cannot be determined / Not necessarily true or false.

5) "The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software."
The policy concerns the process of obtaining and using software licenses. It does not provide any information about project budgets, costs, or the relative proportion of expenses.
Therefore, this statement Cannot be determined / Not necessarily true or false.

The given scenario is,

A project manager obtained a software license for the project and ensured that both the project manager and the team members complied with all policy requirements.

To solve this lets go over each statement 1 by 1

The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.
This must be false because the policy specifically requires that “a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software.”
If the license was submitted after a team member started using the software, it would violate the policy which means this scenario couldnt have happened

The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
This must be true as it is directly in line with the policy that "Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline." Considering the project manager has done the required compliance, this must be true

The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended.
This is allowed as the deadline is 15 days but it’s not something that must be true

A team member identified the need for the software for the project.
The policy doesent restrict who can identify the need, it just restricts who can submit the license request. So it can be false or true

The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software.
The policy doesent say anything about costs or expenses. So this statement doesent matter

Must be true: The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
Must be false: The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.

Choice A must be false because there is no way a team member can use the software before licensing and approval
Choice B must be true as it is indicated that " Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline"

Correct answers are:
Must be true = "The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline." as in the text it is said that employees may use the software only during the official project timeline.

Must be false = "The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project." as in the text it is said that a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software.

In the others:
"exactly 10 days" is incorrect, "who identifies the need" and "project-related expenses" are not mencioned.

The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.

this clearly negates this: According to the policy, a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software.

If project manager and the team members complied with all policy requirements then it is impossible that the license request was submitted after a team member had already started using the software for the project.

The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline

This must be true to support this Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline

This does not necessarily have to be true The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended

as the project allows usage logs to be submitted within 15 days after the project concludes.

Because the project manager secured approval before anyone ever accessed the software and strictly followed the official start and end dates, it follows that the team could only use the software during the sanctioned project timeline, making that statement necessarily true. Also, since no one was allowed to use the software until after the license request was approved, it’s impossible that the manager requested the license only after a team member had already begun using the software, so that statement must be false.

From the text we can deduce that the answers are:

Must be true: The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
The text says that "Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline"

Must be false: The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.
The text says that "According to the policy, a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software"

Incorrect:
"The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended.". The text says within 15 days, no exactly 10, so this can be true or false.
"A team member identified the need for the software for the project.". The text does not say who identifies the need.
"The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software.". The text does not talk about expenses.

As per the given conditions and scanning the answer choices, we find that

The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project - This is a must be false statement since the project manager adhered to all the rules. He must have definitely submitted the request before the usage of the software.

Similarly, The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline - is a must true statement. One of the conditions to be followed is that [color=#0f0f0f]Employees only use the software during the official project timeline.[/color]

Other statements provided may be true or may be false.

Therefore,

Must be True - [color=#000000]The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.[/color]
[color=#000000]Must be False - The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.[/color]

According to the policy, a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software.
Once the request is approved, licenses may be assigned to employees, and the software is made available.
A project officially begins only after the software has been made available.
Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline, and
usage logs must be submitted within 15 days after the project concludes.

A project manager obtained a software license for the project and ensured that both the project manager and the team members complied with all policy requirements.

Evaluating the options:

The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project. If the project manager and the team members complied with all policy requirements, this must be FALSE, as license request needs to be submitted before the team starts using the software

The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline. If the project manager and the team members complied with all policy requirements, this must be TRUE, as this is aligned with the policy

The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended. We don't know if the usage logs were submitted exactly after 1 day, 5 day or 10 days after the project ended. We don't know enough to comment this is TRUE

A team member identified the need for the software for the project. We don't know who identified the need for the software for the project, it could be manager or team member or someone else

The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software. We don't know the split of project-related expenses to comment on that

A company has a policy governing the use of software licenses and the reporting of software usage for internal projects. According to the policy, a project manager must submit a license request and receive approval before any employee may use the software. Once the request is approved, licenses may be assigned to employees, and the software is made available. A project officially begins only after the software has been made available. Employees may use the software only during the official project timeline, and usage logs must be submitted within 15 days after the project concludes.

A project manager obtained a software license for the project and ensured that both the project manager and the team members complied with all policy requirements.

Must be true: The statement must hold true throughout, under any circumstances.
Must be false: The statement must hold false throughout, under any circumstances.
Here no question of maybe or could be arises.

1. The project manager submitted a license request after a team member had already started using the software for the project.

This statement MUST BE FALSE.
It is clearly stated under the company's policy that any employee must use the software only after getting approval, after which the licenses are assigned.

2. The project manager’s team used the software for the project only during the official project timeline.
This statement MUST BE TRUE.
According to the company's policies, the software must only be used during the project's timeline.

3. The project manager submitted the usage logs exactly 10 days after the project ended.
Can be true or cannot be true. As the project manager had 15 days to submit. So the PM can submit the logs at any time within this time frame.

4. A team member identified the need for the software for the project.
Again, can be true or cannot be true. Maybe the Project Manager identified the need for it. No specific info provided for it.

5. The majority of the project-related expenses were related to licensing the software.
No info regarding this is given. It can or cannot be true.

ANSWER:
MUST BE TRUE: 2
MUST BE FALSE: 1

Going through the options , after reading the q stem, it MUST BE TRUE that project manager's team used the software only during the projects timeline as given in the Q text, not after, and for MUST BE FALSE, he cant send request after team started working on the project. It can not be true. Bunuel
