Elevating Standard of Care questions - B101 altering: question wording

Ok so These few real-world practice questions have been tripping me. Because the questions are asking what is the result of the architect changing the standard of care. The questions in no way explicitly indicate WHY or HOW the owner is proposing to modify the B101. And the questions do not indicate in anyway WHY or HOW the architect is considering modifying the B101. Upon the answer - it is IMPLIED that the architect is modifying to achieve “error-free” documents and design. But how am I suppos…

The requested contract modifications (error-free documents and satisfying all uses of the intended client) is noted in the overall scenario for this Real-World Practice exercise. Even though a question may not explicitly indicate this, all questions within the exercise will relate back to the overall scenario. This is also how ARE case studies are structured, in that all parts of the scenario should be considered when answering a question.

If you have need clarification about a specific question within the exercise, please let me know which question (either question # or ID number in bottom right corner of the screen) so that I can look into it further.

Hope this helps!
