Q: 9
When a permitting agency takes longer than planned to issue a permit, this can be described as a risk:

Option A. The delay happening is the risk event per PMI terms. D trips people up, but that's the outcome, not the "event." Seen this asked similarly in practice-feel free to disagree if you read it another way.
Option A. saw almost this exact wording on a practice test and it matched "event".
A for sure, that's the actual risk event. Not seeing any trick wording here.
Likely it's A, matches what the official guide and practice tests say for risk event.
This was almost word-for-word in a mock I did last month-PMI calls it an event. The impact would be the knock-on effect to schedule or budget, not the delay itself. Anyone else see different wording on their practice sets?
Its A. Official guide uses "event" for when the risk actually occurs, saw almost identical wording on a practice test.
D imo. I get why some pick it, but impact is the effect the delay has on the project, not the delay itself. PMI usually calls the actual occurrence an "event." Trap answer here.
C or D. I saw something similar in an official practice test, but now I'm doubting if impact isn't a better fit. Worth double checking the official guide for PMI's terms.
A, This matches PMI's terminology, since the delay actually happening is a risk event not just a perception or impact.
A is wrong, D. The delay is really the impact on the project schedule, not the event itself. Triple-checking some mock questions, impact fits better here in my opinion but happy to revisit if others disagree.
