Can we assume filing of documents and submission of documents the same in Ques - 1 option - "Failure to file documents on time results in a loss of funding" ?

In EMail #1, it is mentioned submission of docs. , while in EMail#2 Acc. Manager had submitted and filed the documents for record.

In literal sense, without using external knowledge, the answer would be a "NO" for this option.

Pls let me know your view on this. Thank u

It could have been better, had the same words been used throughout.

But in the question, the two should not be meaning too different. A definition in terms of law
‘File or submit means the act of delivering a document or instrument to a recording office for recording into the public records.’

Casually, we may use filing as putting into a system online. Filing ITR etc
Submit may include sending hard copy. Submitted documents at an office.
But should be ok both ways.

Official Explanation

1. Consider each of the following statements. Does the information in the three sources support the inference as stated?

Explanation

Statement 1: 
The division head indicates that the filing of documents is essential for the organization to receive reimbursement for services provided.

Answer: Yes

Statement 2:  The accounting manager does not place any of the responsibility on IT, but contends that the documents were submitted on time and that the problem belongs to the receiving agency.

Answer: No

Statement 3: The IT director points out that the reporting is a routine operation, which would be easy to automate, especially because it draws upon data already in the computer systems of the organization.

Answer: Yes

Answer: Yes
­How can we say ''YES'' to statement-3? This is a very general statement. Because the forms under discussion must be filed every quarter, automating the process is desirable.
IT director explains why Automated service is desirable, but, maybe, he is not letting the other guy about the caveats of the Automated process, right? In light of those caveats, maybe, automated service is ''not desirable'' at all!

Sajjad1994 my issue here is when facing questions like #1, which says "Does the information in the three sources support the inference as stated?" - shouldn't we flag them all as "No" since the questions they're asking are not mentioned in ALL three emails? The way I read that is if whatever they're asking about is not explicitly mentioned in all three tabs then it's not supported by the three sources...am I wrong to read it like that?

­Yes! You are misinterpreting it. 

The question simply asks whether we can infer the following statements/questions from the information in the tabs. Do not overthink it.
