I feel like I'm playing Simon says with some of these questions. "Aht aht aht! Simon didn't say, you could scan anything. We only said exclusively a physical test" These are trick questions and unfair. You think they could add the word, "Only" to Exclusive Physical Access only? We have to now assume the ROE here which is bull. How do we know the intent of the word "Exclusive" means "we gave Company ABC exclusive" physical access, Meaning nobody else or no other company. It doesn't' mean that is all they have access to. ROE is not explained here. This question should be removed.
