According to the document, slippage might occur when managing a project using a Critical Path Method (CPM) diagram due to option B: "The path contains no slack time."
The CPM is used in project management to identify critical and non-critical tasks from project start to finish. The path with the longest duration is known as the critical path. If anything is delayed on this path, it will delay the entire project. This is because the tasks on the critical path are interconnected and must happen in sequence, meaning one task cannot start until the previous task is finished.
The document mentions that "the critical path... contains no slack time." This means there is no extra time built into the schedule for tasks on the critical path, i.e., there is no margin for delays or errors. If there are any hold-ups, for example, if a task takes longer than expected or there are issues that weren't accounted for in the planning stage, this can result in "slippage," where the project's timeline is pushed back.
Note that option A, C, D, and E are incorrect based on the information given in the document:
A. The relationship between tasks is actually clear in a CPM diagram, as it shows the sequence of tasks.
C. The CPM diagram does include more tasks, not only the most critical ones.
D. The duration of each task expressed in days should not in itself cause slippage unless the durations are estimated incorrectly.
E. The accuracy of the estimation of the resources needed per task affects all project management tools, not just the CPM diagram. The CPM diagram still provides a clear view of when tasks are planned to take place.
So, the unique aspect of the CPM, according to the text, which might lead to slippage is that the critical path allows no room for delay, meaning there's "no slack time". If anything goes wrong or takes even slightly longer than anticipated, it could cause a delay in the whole project, leading to potential slippage.
I hope these answers are helpful: 74. (A) The height and horizontal width of the water’s path will increase.
The reason is that the position which the gardener holds the nozzle would probably increase the pressure to push the flow rate of the water along the length of the hose to push against gravity. 15. (B) From the tail of the first vector to the top of the last vector.
The direction of a vector is from its tail to its head. Examples that are similar would be an arrow or a line segment.

B) In Jane L. Hoxie’s story “A Kindergarten Story Book: Dunny,” the main character shows perseverance. The boy called Dunny does not give up trying to compete with his brothers even though they tease him. When Dunny’s brothers tell him he is too stupid to try to win the pony, “Dunny walked quickly toward the pond” to try the task anyway. His actions show that he will not stop despite the discouragement of his brothers. Because he persevered in this task, Dunny succeeded and gained respect from his brothers.
C) 3rd person omniscient
B) The audience would not be able to know the thoughts of the brothers.
D) by letting each brother follow the same path; the audience expects something to be different when Dunny reaches his turn
D) So the pony was given to him, and his brothers never called him Dunny again.

The correct answer would be - design and run some tests or experiments.
Explanation:
The scientific method is an orderly or step by step process that helps in developing the knowledge about a particular scientific process. This process involves having a purpose, observe the characteristics, making a hypothesis with a possible explanation, designing a test or experiment for the hypothesis, analyzing the result or data, and making a conclusion.
In this experiment, the purpose, and observation of the already formulated so the next step would be designing a test and run the test to find the result or data for further investigation.
