Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Gantt chart: Displays project tasks against a timeline
Correct matches: Gantt chart visualizes tasks over time; PERT chart shows dependencies and critical path; WBS breaks down deliverables. Common confusions arise because both Gantt and PERT are scheduling tools but serve different visual purposes.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Gantt chart: Displays project tasks against a timeline
Why this is correct
A Gantt chart is a bar chart that illustrates a project schedule, showing tasks on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis.
PERT chart: Shows task dependencies and critical path
Why this is correct
A PERT chart is a network diagram that displays the sequence of tasks, dependencies, and the critical path for project scheduling.
Work Breakdown Structure: Hierarchical decomposition of project deliverables
Why this is correct
A WBS is a deliverable-oriented decomposition of the work required to complete the project, breaking it into smaller components.
Gantt chart: Shows task dependencies and critical path
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — task dependencies and critical path are typically shown in network diagrams like PERT or CPM, not in a Gantt chart.
PERT chart: Displays project tasks against a timeline
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — displaying tasks against a timeline is the purpose of a Gantt chart, not a PERT chart.
