Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Initial costs for implementation of a simulation program would be high. However, in the long run, costs are reduced, as participants may need fewer instructors and less instruction time. Participants may practice under a variety of conditions and contexts to test their skills, which may improve their confidence.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The test environment is not exactly the same as the live environment, because the live environment is much larger and more complex. As a result, the findings of the system test may not always indicate how well the system will perform in the live environment.
