Activity A and Activity B need to be completed. D) Before starting Activity C, Activity A and Activity D must be completed, 32) 32) There's an old saying, "The job is not finished until the paperwork is done." From an activity network standpoint, this does not necessarily mean that the paperwork can't begin until the last non-paperwork activity is completed.
