Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Task A

A Start-to-Start (SS) dependency with a 2-day lag means the successor task starts 2 days after the predecessor starts. Task A has this dependency, matching the requirement. Task D (Option A) has a different dependency, Task B (Option C) has Finish-to-Start, and Task C (Option D) has Start-to-Start but without a lag.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Task D

    Why it's wrong here

    SS without a lag requires simultaneous start, but no delay is specified.

  • ✓

    Task A

    Why this is correct

    SS+2d indicates Start-to-Start with a 2-day lag.

  • ✗

    Task B

    Why it's wrong here

    FF-3d indicates Finish-to-Finish with a 3-day lead, not a start-to-start dependency.

  • ✗

    Task C

    Why it's wrong here

    FS indicates Finish-to-Start, which does not require simultaneous starts.
