Which of the following is a notification that an unusual condition exists and should be investigated?
A.
Alert
B.
Trend
C.
Alarm
D.
Trap
Explanation:
We need to look carefully at the wording of the question to determine the answer. This question is
asking about an “unusual condition” that should be investigated. There are different levels of alerts
from Critical to Warning to Information only.
An Alarm would be triggered by a serious definite problem that needs resolving urgently. An
“unusual condition” probably wouldn’t trigger an alarm; it is more likely to trigger an Alert.
A. Alert
0
0
B & D are out from the onset.
So it is a toss up between A.Alert and C.Alarm
Yet, in C a notification HAS TO BE investigated…there are no buts or shoulds in here, since an alarm would be triggered by a serious definite problem that MUST be resolved urgently, right here, right now.
This question is asking about an “unusual condition” that SHOULD be investigated.
This passive phraseology indicates a leisurely approach not conductive to an “alarm”.
