When the reviewer opens the backup package, a schedule update shows one late activity has float and another delays completion. Where is recovery focused first?
Correct Answer
C) On the critical-path delay
On the critical-path delay is the contract-appropriate response: the distractors either bypass required review, conceal a defect, or create a payment or quality dispute in scenario item 298.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
On the critical-path delay is the contract-appropriate response
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Limit critical path to on the float activity
The trap in A is On the float activity. That selection is wrong because it points to On the float activity, but.
Option B: Base the critical path response on on completed work
Choice B gives On completed work. Its specific error: it answers the Critical path prompt with the wrong practical move.
Option D: Make on easiest paperwork the answer for critical path
In general project requirements, On easiest paperwork is the wrong selection for Critical path: the choice would not get the project to On the critical-path delay, which is the Critical path result verified by the source.
Memory Technique
Picture a closeout folder on the jobsite; critical path is solved by the action that leads to On the critical-path delay.
Reference Hint
Open Construction Jobsite Management, 5th Ed.; use the index entry or section for "Critical path recovery" to confirm that On the critical-path delay is the contract-appropriate response
