Consider the same narrative as shown in the beginning, but add an intermediate timer event to indicate the wait between arriving at school and going to class when the class is scheduled to start.

b$1.$ Which of the following best describes the purpose of an intermediate timer event?

multiple choice $1$

Causes the process flow to branch

Allows the process flows to merge

Delays process flow until a specified time or specified duration

Starts a process at a specified time

None of the choices are correct.

b$2.$ Consider the following high$-$level model of this process. Where would you insert the intermediate timer event?

multiple choice $2$

Between the start event and the dress task.

Between prepare for school tasks and go to school task.

Between go to school task and go to class task.

Between go to class task and end event.

None of the choices are correct..

b$3.$ Consider the following model. Why isn$$t this an acceptable equivalent to the one shown in b above with an intermediate timer event?

multiple choice $3$

The flow loops back to going to school and you are already there.

Gateways don$$t develop information, they direct flow based on information from the previous task$/$activity$.$

The loop doesn$$t delay the flow until a specified time.

All of these are reasons why model c is not equivalent to model b$.$
