  • Eliminate Incorrect Choices: Rule out unethical, reactive/passive, context-contradicting, principle-violating, symptom-addressing options.
  • Evaluate Remaining Choices: Align with PMI Mindset? Most appropriate for specific situation? Logical next step? Solves problem effectively? Look for analysis, communication, collaboration, process actions.
